Ingredients

4 cups water
2 teaspoons dashi granules or dashi powder
3 tablespoons miso paste (white, yellow, or red)
1 (8 ounce) package silken tofu, cut into small cubes
2 green onions, sliced diagonally

Directions

Pour water into a medium saucepan and add dashi granules. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat while stirring to dissolve the dashi completely.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Place miso paste in a small bowl, add a few tablespoons of hot broth, and whisk until smooth. Stir the dissolved miso back into the pot to avoid lumps.
Add the diced tofu carefully and stir gently so the tofu keeps its shape.
Add sliced green onions, separate the layers, and let the soup simmer lightly for 2 to 3 minutes. Do not boil after adding miso.
Remove from heat and serve hot for best flavor and texture.
