Miso and tofu gut healing soup
Japanese 10 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook
- Chop the spring onions in half and add to a large saucepan. Combine with the water and kombu. Bring to a boil over a high heat, then reduce to a medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove and discard the kombu and green onions.
- Lower the heat, add the wakame seaweed to rehydrate and infuse into the broth. Remove after 3 minutes and set aside. Add the white miso paste into the soup and whisk until fully dissolved. Keep the broth warm over a low heat.
- Pat the wakame dry and sprinkle sea salt over. In a small frying pan, heat the sesame oil over a high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the salted wakame in batches for approx. 1-2 minutes or until crisp on either side.
- Strain the miso soup for a clear broth and season with soy sauce. Carefully dice the silken tofu. Divide the miso broth among serving bowls and carefully drop in the tofu.
- Scatter over the crispy wakame and black sesame seeds. Top with fresh basil and serve immediately.
