Quantities for 2 servings

Firm tofu150 g
Lettuce120 g
Miso2 tbsp
Dashi powder1/2 tsp
Water500 ml
Spring onion, chopped1 tbsp

How to make it

  1. Wash the lettuce and tear it into bite-sized pieces. Cut the tofu into 1.5 cm cubes.
  2. Put the water and dashi powder in a pot and heat over medium heat until just simmering.
  3. Add the tofu and simmer on low for about 3 minutes.
  4. Put the miso in a sieve or ladle and stir it slowly into the pot until it dissolves. Do not let it boil hard.
  5. Add the lettuce and cook for about 30 seconds, until the leaves go limp.
  6. Turn off the heat, scatter on the spring onion and ladle into bowls while hot.

Tips

  • Boil miso for long and the aroma fades. Once it dissolves, do not cook it much more.
  • Miso varies in saltiness, so start with one tablespoon and taste before adding the rest.
  • To make it heartier, add enoki mushrooms or clams.
