Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Dashi granules or powder
- 3 tablespoons Miso paste (white or yellow)
- 1 bunch Enoki mushrooms
- 7 ounces Silken tofu
- 1 tablespoon Dried wakame seaweed
- 2 stalks Green onions (scallions)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of dashi granules or powder and stir to dissolve. Lower the heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer.
Step 3
Place 3 tablespoons of miso paste into a small bowl. Add a ladleful of hot dashi broth to the bowl and whisk until the miso paste dissolves completely. Set aside for now.
Step 4
Trim the root end off the enoki mushrooms and separate them into smaller clusters. Rinse mushrooms gently and set aside.
Step 5
Cut the silken tofu into small cubes, approximately ½ inch. Handle carefully to avoid breaking the tofu.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of dried wakame seaweed to the simmering pot. Allow it to rehydrate and expand for about 2 minutes.
Step 7
Gently stir in the miso mixture you prepared earlier. Ensure the heat is low, as boiling miso can alter its flavor.
Step 8
Add the enoki mushrooms and tofu cubes to the pot. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms are tender but not overcooked.
Step 9
Thinly slice 2 green onions (scallions) and sprinkle them over the soup for garnish right before serving.
Step 10
Serve the miso soup hot in individual bowls. Enjoy!
