Miso Soup with Tofu - Japanese Recipe
1/2 tofu
3 tbsp miso paste
1/4 cup chopped green onion
4 cups water
4 hoshi-shiitake
To make dashi soup stock, put water and hoshi-shiitake in a pan and soak for 10 minutes. Heat the water and turn off the heat when the water comes to a boil. Let stand for 20 minutes and strain the broth.
Put dashi soup stock in a pan and bring to a boil. Cut tofu into small cubes and add them to the soup. Scoop out some soup stock from the pan and dissolve miso paste in it. Return the soup in the pan. Stop the heat and add chopped green onion. Remember not to boil the soup after you put miso in.
