Instructions

Step 1: In a pot, bring 4 cups dashi stock to a gentle simmer. Whisk in 3 tbsp miso paste until fully dissolved. Add 1 block (14 oz) tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes, and 8 shrimp (1 oz each), cooking for 3-4 minutes until shrimp turn pink.
Step 2: Prepare wontons by filling 12 wrappers with 1 tbsp minced pork and 1 tsp watercress each. Submerge wontons in the soup and cook for 5 minutes until floating. Add 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp sesame seeds.
Step 3: Simmer for 2 more minutes, then ladle into bowls. Serve immediately with extra miso on the side for adjustment.
