Mild stock, miso, tofu and wakame become a light soup when the miso is stirred in away from boiling heat.
Ingredients
- 1 l dashi or mild vegetable stock
- 80 g miso paste
- 200 g firm tofu
- 5 g dried wakame
- 2 spring onions
Method
- Prepare the wakame and brothHeat the stock and cook seaweed and other firm additions in it.
- Add the miso and tofuRemove the pan from the heat and dissolve the miso in a little stock.
- Serve with spring onionsReturn the miso mixture, warm the tofu and do not let the soup boil again.

- Dissolve the miso after taking the pan off the heat; vigorous boiling dulls its aroma.
