Instructions

Miso-Soup-11Bring water to a boil. Add Dashi bonito soup stock seasoning.
Miso-Soup-6Add dry seaweed.
Miso-Soup-7In a bowl, dissolve the miso paste with some of the stock before adding to the stock.

You might have to do this step in a few batches.

Serve hot.

    hmm seems quick and easy to make! but unfortunately i don’t have ANY of those ingredients lying around in my fridge, so i’d have to go on a search for these ingredients at my nearest asian/japanese groccery market.

    we’ve had miso soup as part of our meals for years. Sometimes my mom would slice up daikon into little sticks and throw them in the soup. after a few minutes, they become soft and delicious.
