AUTHENTIC MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat water in a large pot over low heat. Add kombu and cook until the mixture just begins to simmer. Stir in bonito flakes until combined. Remove pot from the heat and let dashi sit, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Strain and set aside.
• Heat 3 1/2 cups dashi in a pot over medium heat. Add tofu and wakame; stir to combine. Remove 1 cup warmed dashi to a small bowl and whisk in miso paste. Pour miso mixture back into the pot with remaining dashi. Stir until warmed through. Serve garnished with chopped green onions.

MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Put the wakame in a small bowl and cover with cold water, then leave it for 5 mins until the leaves have fully expanded.
• Make the dashi (see tip below) or heat until it reaches a rolling boil. Add the tofu and cook for 1 min before adding the seaweed.
• Reduce the heat. Put both types of miso in a ladle or strainer and dip it into the pot. Slowly loosen up the miso with a spoon inside the ladle or strainer; the paste will slowly melt into the dashi. Once all the miso is dissolved into the soup, turn off the heat immediately. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions to add colour and fragrance.

INSTANT POT MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Add the vegetable broth, 1 cup water, shiitakes, ginger, garlic, and instant dashi to a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® multi-cooker. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete (this should take about 1 minute). Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Use a slotted spoon to remove the coins of ginger and discard.
• Turn the pot to the high saute setting (this will keep the soup warm). Whisk in the white miso paste until dissolved, then gently stir in the tofu, scallions and mirin if using. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
