Answer 1

Too bad you have already been to the store. Here is the recipe for the miso I made for lunch. Miso soup is my soul food when you do not feel good food.

4 cups dashi * (soup stock)

4 tbsp. miso

wakame (seaweed), small pieces

1/2 block tofu, cut into 1/2" cubes

1-2 stalks green onions, sliced thin

I put in some rehydrated shitake mushrooms



Other optional ingredients: spinach, cabbage, pork, abura age (fried bean cake), daikon (Japanese white radish), mochi (rice cake), or fish.

Answer 2

3 cups dashi soup stock

1 block tofu

3-4 tbsps miso paste

1/4 cup chopped green onion

Put dashi soup stock in a pan and bring to a boil. Cut tofu into small cubes and add them to the soup. Simmer the tofu for a few minutes on low heat. Scoop out some soup stock from the pan and dissolve miso in it. Gradually return the miso mixture in the soup. Stir the soup gently. Stop the heat and add chopped green onion. Remember not to boil the soup after you put miso in.

*Makes 4 servings

i recommend using firm tofu.

any veggie works in this soup too.

you could add the ramen if you want something more filling.

i hope you enjoy!!!
