Miso soup with tofu

Japanese national cuisine is not only sushi, but also misoshiru, also known as miso soup. Dashi broth and special miso paste are traditionally used for its preparation. The Japanese believe that the ingredients are not important in this dish, but the color, texture and, of course, flavor combinations. Therefore, when adding products with a bright aroma, neutral tofu is always added to them.

How to cook Miso soup with tofu

Step 1

Miso soup with tofu

Make miso with tofu. Boil water in a saucepan. Add dashi broth. Stir well. Reduce heat to low. Place miso paste in a small container, pour in a small amount of broth and stir. Add this mixture to the saucepan. Turn off the heat. Place tofu, seaweed, onion in a bowl. Pour in the broth from the saucepan.

Miso soup with tofu - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! If you don't have dashi, you can use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version or chicken broth for a different flavor. Alternatively, soak a piece of kombu (dried kelp) in warm water for 30 minutes as a simple dashi replacement.
Most traditional miso is gluten-free, but always check labels—some varieties may contain barley. Look for miso labeled '100% soy' or 'gluten-free' to be safe. Chickpea miso is another great alternative.
It's best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Note: the tofu may soften over time. Reheat gently (don’t boil) to preserve flavor.
Use vegetable broth instead of dashi (or make kombu dashi) and ensure your miso is vegan (some contain bonito fish flakes). Skip optional toppings like fish-based garnishes.
Freezing isn’t recommended—miso’s flavor dulls, and tofu becomes grainy. Fresh preparation is ideal. Tip: Freeze dashi broth separately for future quick soups.
Try sliced mushrooms, baby spinach, grated ginger, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. For crunch, add crispy fried shallots or roasted garlic.
Double or triple the recipe easily! Use a large pot and maintain the broth-to-ingredient ratio. Add tofu and seaweed just before serving to avoid sogginess.
Absolutely! Silken tofu adds creaminess but breaks apart more easily. Add it at the very end and stir gently to keep intact.
High heat kills miso’s probiotics and dulls its flavor. Dissolving it in warm broth first ensures even distribution without overcooking.
