Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 3 cups dashi stock and 1 tsp dried wakame, bringing to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat (do not boil) for 2 minutes until wakame softens and releases its oceanic aroma.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp white miso paste until fully dissolved, avoiding boiling to preserve its delicate flavor profile.
  3. Step 3: Gently place 1/2 block (150g) silken tofu into the pot, adding a pinch of salt to enhance umami, and let it steep for 1 minute until warmed through but not broken.
