Easy Miso Soup with Tofu and Wakame

Soak the dried wakame in cold water for 5 minutes, or until softened. Drain well and set aside.

Cut the tofu into small bite-sized cubes and gently pat off any excess moisture.

Pour the water into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir in the dashi powder until fully dissolved.

Add the tofu and soaked wakame to the broth. Simmer gently for about 1 minute to heat through.

Turn off the heat. Place the miso paste in a ladle or small bowl, mix it with a little hot broth until smooth, then stir it back into the pot.
