It’s super easy to make this Miso Soup. Just 6 ingredients and ready in 20 min. I have tried many variations of this recipe and so far this one is the best.

Ingredients:.

  • 4 cups of dashi stock (you can use instant dashi mixed with water)
  • 1 sheet for nori (crumbled up)
  • 4 tbsp miso paste or soybean paste
  • 2 stalks of scallions
  • 530g of silken/soft tofu
  • optional 1/2 cup of frozen green peas

Instructions:

  1. Bring dashi to a simmer.
  2. Add soft tofu, heat on medium heat until the tofu is hot.
  3. Pro tip, add miso paste or soybean paste via a strainer, which helps to dissolve the paste faster. Interesting to know, usually 1 tbsp of miso paste for every cup of dashi). I like to discard the left over rice koji, so the soup tastes smooth.
  4. Never boil miso soup because it loses its nutrients and flavor.
  5. Not usually part of the traditional miso soup recipe, but I like to add frozen green peas.
  6. Garnish with scallions and crumbled nori.
