4
Combine miso and dashi: Pour the dissolved miso back into the pot and stir gently to incorporate.

Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Dashi Tip: For authentic flavor, use homemade dashi. Kombu (kelp) and bonito flakes make the best base.
- Miso Variations: Try red or mixed miso for a deeper, richer flavor.
- Tofu Handling: Use silken tofu for the softest texture. Handle gently to avoid breaking.
- Seaweed Substitution: If wakame is unavailable, thinly sliced nori can be used.
- Serving Suggestion: Enjoy with steamed rice and pickled vegetables for a complete meal.
- Storage: Miso soup is best fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat gently.
