Description

Empowering, explorative, and feminine. A journey through flavors and ingredients.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 dried seaweed (like wakame) (soaked and chopped)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1/4 block of firm tofu (cut into small cubes)
  • 1 green onion (thinly sliced)
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for a hint of heat)
Instructions

  1. Begin by bringing the water to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan.

  2. Lower the heat and add the soaked seaweed. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.

  3. In a separate bowl, dissolve the miso paste in a small amount of hot water to create a smooth mixture.

  4. Add the dissolved miso to the saucepan. Stir gently to mix.

  5. Add in the tofu cubes and allow them to warm in the soup for about 2 minutes.

  6. Turn off the heat, ensuring that the soup does not boil after adding the miso, as this can destroy its beneficial properties.

  7. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes if using.
