Steps to make Basic Miso Soup:
  1. Heat Dashi Stock (OR Water & Dashi Powder) in a large saucepan or a pot, add the ingredients of your choice (except Tofu) and cook them in the stock until soft. - *Note: Use about 2 teaspoons Dashi Powder for 4 cups Water OR according to the instruction on the package.
  2. *Note: If you wish to add Tofu to your Miso Soup, you don’t need to cook Tofu and Tofu can be easily broken. Add Tofu after you season the soup with Miso.
  3. Season the soup with Miso. - *Note: The important point to remember is that you should remove the soup from the heat when it’s just about to start boiling after adding Miso. If you boil it for too long, the wonderful aroma of Miso will be lost. That’s what I was taught.
