Ingredients
- 4 tbsp shiro miso fermented white soybean paste
- 1 1/2 tbsp dashinomoto instant fish stock
- pinch ajinomoto Japanese taste powder ormonosodium glutamate (optional)
- 1 cake fresh tofu
- 1/2 leek white part only
serve with:
- steamed rice
Instructions
- Make the stock in a non-metallic saucepan (an enamelled flameproof casserole dish is best) using 1% pints (1 litre) water, the instant dashi and a pinch of ajinomoto; if you do not want to use this taste enhancer, leave it out. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to very low.
- Mix the miso in a bowl with about 4 fl oz (120 ml) of the hot broth; pour the resulting mixture back into the saucepan or casserole dish through a sieve, rubbing with the back of a wooden spoon. Stir for 2 minutes; the soup must not come to the boil once the miso has been added.
- Cut the tofu into small cubes, add to the soup and leave to heat through for 2 minutes; remove from the heat.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the leek, cut into strips and serve at once, with plain steamed rice. This makes a very light but nourishing supper.
