Miso soup is probably the most popular dish in Japan (yes I know, you were expecting sushi, but surprise!). It’s added as a side dish to almost every type of lunch meal, it can also be a part of breakfast and supper. Bonus: it may be prepared in around 10 minutes, so try it! Once again this is not an original Japanese recipe, this is a really easy, basic “Cooking 101” recipe.

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons of dashi
3 cups of water (3x 250 ml)
2,5 spoons of miso paste
65g tofu
1 spoon of dried seaweed
slices of green onion

Preparation:

1. Chop seaweed into small parts and cut tofu into cubes.
   
2. Boil water in a pot. Add dashi. Whisk until it dissolve.
   
3. Lower the heat and add tofu and seaweed.
   
4. Put miso paste into a bowl or ladle. Add a little of the dashi and whisk until it becomes smooth. 
   
5. Add miso to the soup and boil a short while on lowest heat.
   
6. Add slices of green onion and boil a little. 
   
7. Serve immediately.
