Miso Soup

Our favorite sushi place serves this, and it took me a while to learn to make it at home. It's wonderful! You can add all sorts of things to this, and take away the tofu and bean curd, if you'd like (but it's sooo good!)

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons white miso
• 2  tablespoons  finely chopped green onions
• 1⁄4 cup  med firm tofu, small cubed
• 1  package  instant dashi stock
• 8  cups water
• 1⁄2 small  fried  bean curd (these come in packages of 2 small patties, in the frozen section)

Directions

1. Add soup stock to 8 cups of water in a large saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to let very gently simmer.
3. In the meantime, pour boiling water from a kettle over the fried bean curd to take some of the oil off.
4. Take bean curd, chop into very small pieces.

6. (do not let miso boil) Add green onion, bean curd, and tofu to saucepan, then let sit a few minutes.
