AUTHENTIC MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat water in a large pot over low heat. Add kombu and cook until the mixture just begins to simmer. Stir in bonito flakes until combined. Remove pot from the heat and let dashi sit, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Strain and set aside.
• Heat 3 1/2 cups dashi in a pot over medium heat. Add tofu and wakame; stir to combine. Remove 1 cup warmed dashi to a small bowl and whisk in miso paste. Pour miso mixture back into the pot with remaining dashi. Stir until warmed through. Serve garnished with chopped green onions.

Steps:

• Clean the kombu with a damp cloth.
• Place it in a pot of water and soak it for at least three hours (better overnight) to extract its flavor.
• After soaking, bring the water temperature up to nearly boil, and remove the kombu immediately.
• Heat the dashi to barely below boiling point. Add the katsuobushi.
• Let the katsuobushi steep for 5 minutes at the sub-boiling point.
• Strain through a cheesecloth or kitchen tissue to remove all the katsuobushi.
• Measure 500ml (2 cups) of dashi. Bring it to a boil.
• Turn off the heat.
• Put the miso paste in the miso strainer, lower the strainer into the dashi and gently stir until it dissolves.
• Sprinkle some wakame in cold water to let it re-hydrate for five to ten minutes until it expands.
• Pass through a strainer and gently squeeze the wakame to remove the excess water.
• Add the wakame to the dashi.
• Add the tofu cube to the dashi.
• Sprinkle some cut scallion into the miso soup right before serving.
