Miso Soup with Tofu and Seaweed

Instructions

   While the water is heating, cube the block of silken tofu into bite-sized pieces.

3. 3

   Cut the nori seaweed sheet into thin strips.

4. 4

   Once the water is simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the sesame oil.

5. 5

   Dissolve the miso paste in a small amount of the hot water in a separate bowl to avoid clumping, then stir the dissolved miso back into the pot.

6. 6

   Add the cubed tofu and nori seaweed strips to the pot and gently stir to combine.

7. 7

   Allow the soup to gently simmer for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to boil, to let the flavors meld.

   Finally, turn off the heat, add the chopped green onions, and give the soup a final gentle stir.

9. 9

   Serve the miso soup hot, being sure to distribute tofu and seaweed evenly among the bowls.
