How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Place the dried wakame seaweed

    Place the dried wakame seaweed in a small bowl with water and let it soak for about 5 minutes to rehydrate. Drain and set aside.

    5 min
  2. Bring the dashi stock

    In a medium saucepan, bring the dashi stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat (approximately 194°F or 90°C).

  3. Carefully add the cubed tofu and the rehydrated wakame

    Carefully add the cubed tofu and the rehydrated wakame to the simmering dashi. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

    2 min
  4. Ladle out about 1/2 cup of the warm dashi

    Ladle out about 1/2 cup of the warm dashi into a small bowl. Add the miso paste and whisk until completely smooth. Turn off the heat under the saucepan and stir the miso mixture back into the pot.

  5. Serve immediately in bowls, garnished

    Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with freshly sliced green onions.

A little kitchen wisdom

Always dissolve the miso paste off the heat or at a very low simmer to preserve its delicate flavor and probiotic benefits. Do not let the soup reach a rolling boil once the miso is added.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

Dashi can be made 3 days in advance. Do not add miso until ready to serve.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat very gently without boiling. Reheat on low heat just until warm; boiling will spoil the miso flavor.

Allergens

Contains soy, fish.
