If you’re planning a sushi night sometime soon, and want to have the full sushi experience, we recommend whipping up some miso soup to go along with your meal. It does require a few specialized ingredients that you might have to go to a specific store for, but it actually isn’t that hard to make at all, and it packs so much punch in such a simple recipe. Check out how to make it below.

Ingredients:

  • Dashi, which is a type of stock used for making miso soup
  • Water
  • Miso paste
  • Silken tofu (it’s important you use the silken kind, so be sure to double-check the tofu package)
  • Green onions

Instructions:

  1. Fill a pot with enough water to make the amount of soup you want and put it on medium-high heat.
  2. Add the dashi and combine it with a whisk. Bring to a boil.
  3. While it’s boiling, create a slurry with your miso paste in some water, using a whisk to break up the miso paste.
  4. Once the dashi water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add in your miso slurry.
  5. Stir in the silken tofu.
  6. Slice your green onions diagonally into half-inch pieces and stir them into the soup.
  7. Simmer for a few more minutes. Serve hot.
