Servings 4 adventurers
Cost 1 gold

Equipment

  • 1 small pot
  • 1 Fine Mesh Strainer optional

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 packets instant dashi seasoning powder the instant dashi I used was 1 packet per 2 cups of water
  • 8 oz silken tofu diced into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 4 tbsp red miso paste see notes
  • 1 Tbsp dried wakame seaweed If you cannot find wakame, use 1 sheet of nori instead and rip it up before adding to the soup
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced diagonally, both greens and whites

Instructions

  • Bring the water to a simmer in a pot and then add the instant dashi packets
  • Turn off the heat, or set to low. Do not boil past this point, otherwise the miso soup will lose both flavor and nutrients.
  • Add the miso paste to the pot. You can simply stir it in, or first put it in a fine-mesh strainer and use a chopstick to swirl it around and push it through the strainer. I find that this dissolves the miso into the soup easier.
  • Add in the tofu cubes, green onions, and wakame. Taste the soup, if it is a bit salty due to the wakame, add a little more water.
  • If you had the heat off, turn it on low now to warm the soup but do not boil.
  • Serve warm and enjoy, adventurer!

Notes

Red miso is made with more soybeans and is usually fermented longer than white miso. We use red miso paste for a more smoky, strong flavor. However if you want, use white miso for a milder, sweeter taste.
