Miso soup is the queen of soups in Japanese cuisine. Its main ingredients are fish broth (dry bonito) or dashi and the same, a flavored paste of soybeans. To make it more complete, the miso soup usually includes cubes of tofu, seaweed and some vegetables or mushrooms.

This soup always accompanies other dishes at breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves to warm the body and whet our appetite.

  • 10 gr. of dried wakame seaweed

Preparation

  1. First we must prepare the dashi, the base of the soup

  2. They also sell it in powder to make it instant, but the homemade one is better

  3. To do this, we soak the strips of kombu seaweed in a liter of water for about 3 hours so that they hydrate.

  4. Later we put the water with the kombu seaweed to boil in a saucepan over high heat

  5. When the first boil begins, remove the kombu seaweed from the water and turn off the heat

  6. Then add the bonito flakes to the water to infuse for 15 minutes

  7. After time, we pass this broth through a fine sieve to another pot.

  8. To start preparing the soup itself, we cut the tofu into small cubes

  9. On the other hand, we dissolve the miso paste in a little hot dashi broth.

  10. Heat the rest of the dashi, add the seaweed and the spring onion and the leek in very fine julienne strips and cook for a couple of minutes

  11. Then we add the miso paste, the tofu and boil another two minutes before serving.
