MISO SOUP- HOW TO MAKE WITH ONLY 6 INGREDIENTS (EASY)

Steps:

• Clean the kombu with a damp cloth.
• Place it in a pot of water and soak it for at least three hours (better overnight) to extract its flavor.
• After soaking, bring the water temperature up to nearly boil, and remove the kombu immediately.
• Heat the dashi to barely below boiling point. Add the katsuobushi.
• Let the katsuobushi steep for 5 minutes at the sub-boiling point.
• Strain through a cheesecloth or kitchen tissue to remove all the katsuobushi.
• Measure 500ml (2 cups) of dashi. Bring it to a boil.
• Turn off the heat.
• Put the miso paste in the miso strainer, lower the strainer into the dashi and gently stir until it dissolves.
• Sprinkle some wakame in cold water to let it re-hydrate for five to ten minutes until it expands.
• Pass through a strainer and gently squeeze the wakame to remove the excess water.
• Add the wakame to the dashi.
• Add the tofu cube to the dashi.
• Sprinkle some cut scallion into the miso soup right before serving.

SIMPLE MISO NORI SOUP

Steps:

• Pour the water into a 2-quart pot. Stir in the miso until it's no longer in chunks.
• Bring to a simmer.
• Tear the nori into pieces about 1.5" by 1.5", but don't be concerned if they're bigger or smaller than that. Add to the pot.
• Dice the tofu until you like the size of the pieces. Add to the pot.
• Best enjoyed immediately but keeps well in the fridge.

SIMPLE MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Place water and dashi granules in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until dashi is dissolved.
• Add wakame and simmer until wakame is rehydrated (about 3-5 minutes).
• Meanwhile, place tofu in 4 small bowls (preferably Japanese soup bowls that have lids).
• When wakame is tender, remove soup from heat. Place miso into a small, shallow bowl or dish and add a small amount of broth. Blend into the miso. Repeat until miso mixture is somewhat runny and well mixed with the broth.
• Add miso to soup and stir. Return to heat briefly just until very hot (do not boil miso).
• Pour over tofu in bowls, garnish with green onion, cover and serve immediately. Miso soup should be served very hot.

SIMPLE MISO SOUP

Steps:

• First, soak sea weed in warm water for 5-10 minutes. Chop. Use however much you'd like. A pinch or a small handful.
• Simply heat 1 cup vegetable broth over medium-high heat. Add chopped tofu. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
• Place a spoonful of Miso (adjust amount to your taste.) in a small bowl. Using a ladle, pour some of the heated broth into the bowl and gently whisk to combine. Remove broth from heat. Ladle into individual bowls, add Miso and see weed.
• *Do not cook Miso paste. Not only will it turn gritty but it will kill the live cultures! Poooor cultures.

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine dashi granules and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and whisk in the miso paste. Stir in tofu. Separate the layers of the green onions, and add them to the soup. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Put the wakame in a small bowl and cover with cold water, then leave it for 5 mins until the leaves have fully expanded.
• Make the dashi (see tip below) or heat until it reaches a rolling boil. Add the tofu and cook for 1 min before adding the seaweed.
• Reduce the heat. Put both types of miso in a ladle or strainer and dip it into the pot. Slowly loosen up the miso with a spoon inside the ladle or strainer; the paste will slowly melt into the dashi. Once all the miso is dissolved into the soup, turn off the heat immediately. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions to add colour and fragrance.
