Authentic Foods - Japanesse Miso Soup
1/2 cup dried wakame (a type of seaweed)
1/4 cup miso paste (fermented-soybean paste)
1/2 tbs dashi (Japanese stock powder)
1tbs sake
Prepare the seaweed by soaking it in a little cold water until softened, then draining well.
Add the dashi stock and a table spoon of sake to 4 cups of boiling water. Then mix in the miso paste through a sieve. This will ensure your soup is as smooth as possible. Add the seaweed and reduce the heat. If you can find it, I like to sprinkle some Japanese Yuzu pepper (yuzu kosho) on top too, but it’s not essential if you can’t find it.
You can add pork, udon, shrimp, calamari or salmon for a protien.
