In Japan you almost always get a small bowl of miso soup with every meal to neutralize flavours. The base for the soup is dashi, a classic Japanese broth made with katsuobushi (simmered, smoked and fermented skipjack tuna) and wakame (seaweed). You can try to make these yourself, but we also sell instant dashi, you will only need to add some water. Just take the dashi and stir some miso paste into it. Red miso is mostly used for this, but if you have have white miso you can use that just as fine.

Recipe Note

In the most simple miso soup you just add some tofu and some seaweed. But do experiment with additional ingredients like mushrooms (shimeji, enoki, etc.). This recipe is meant as a side dish, but if you want to make a meal out of it, you can always add some blanched spinach for example.
