Adventurer's Rest Red Miso Soup

Ingredients

• 4 cup water
• 2 packet instant dashi seasoning powder (the instant dashi used was 1 packet per 2 cups of water)
• 8 oz silken tofu (diced into 1/2 inch cubes)
• 4 tbsp red miso paste (see notes for white miso substitution)
• 1 tbsp dried wakame seaweed (If you cannot find wakame, use 1 sheet of nori instead and rip it up before adding to the soup)
• 2 green onions (thinly sliced diagonally, both greens and whites)

Steps

1. 1

   Bring the 4 cups of water to a simmer in a small pot.

2. 2

   Add the 2 packets of instant dashi seasoning powder to the simmering water.

3. 3

   Turn off the heat, or set to low. Do not boil past this point, otherwise the miso soup will lose both flavor and nutrients.

4. 4

   Add the 4 tablespoons of red miso paste to the pot. You can simply stir it in, or first put it in a fine-mesh strainer and use a chopstick to swirl it around and push it through the strainer to dissolve it more easily.

5. 5

   Add in the diced silken tofu cubes, sliced green onions, and dried wakame.

6. 6

   Taste the soup; if it is a bit salty due to the wakame, add a little more water.

7. 7

   If you had the heat off, turn it on low now to warm the soup through, but ensure it does not reach a boil.

8. 8

   Serve warm and enjoy, adventurer!

Notes

Red miso is made with more soybeans and is usually fermented longer than white miso, providing a more smoky, strong flavor. However, if you prefer a milder, sweeter taste, you can substitute white miso paste.
