A nourishing staple.

Ingredients:

250 g
1
4 cups
1/2 cup
100 g
1 tbsp

tofu
spring onion
water
dashi grains
miso
mirin

Method:

1. Use a sharp knife to cut the tofu into cubes. Slice the spring onion diagonally into 1 cm lengths. Set tofu and onion aside.

2. Combine the water and dashi in a small pan, then bring the mixture to the boil. Combine the miso and mirin in a small bowl, then add to the boiling liquid in the pan. Stir the miso over medium heat, taking care not to let the mixture boil once the miso has dissolved (overheating will result in the loss of miso flavor).

3. Add the tofu cubes to the hot stock and heat, without boiling, over medium heat for 5 minutes.

4. Serve in individual soup bowls, garnished with the spring onion.
