Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 8 oz firm tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside. Thinly slice 3 scallions, separating white and green parts.
  2. Step 2: Heat 4 cups dashi stock in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil), then remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp white miso paste with 2 tbsp warm dashi stock until smooth. Stir this mixture into the simmering dashi, then add the tofu cubes and 1 tbsp rehydrated wakame seaweed.
  4. Step 4: Gently heat for 2 minutes until the broth is warmed through but not boiling, then stir in 1 tsp sesame oil and the white parts of the sliced scallions. Serve immediately, garnished with the green scallion parts.
