Miso soup with tofu

Chopping

Cut the tofu into 1.5 cm cubes and thinly slice the green onions. Snip the nori into thin strips with scissors.

Broth

Bring 1 litre of water to the boil, then turn the heat down to low.

Traditional miso soup uses dashi stock, but dashi is made from fish — with it the soup is no longer vegan.

Tofu

Gently slide in the tofu and warm it through for 2 minutes.

Miso

Stir the miso into a ladleful of the hot water until smooth, then pour it into the pot. Don't let the soup boil again.

Boiling dulls the flavour of miso and makes it grainy.

Serving

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the nori and green onions. Done!
