Main Ingredients- 160g Firm Tofu (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 2 Large Eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1/2 Green Onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 Tbsp Tuna Extract (or soy sauce for soup)
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Broth Ingredients- 3 Cups Water (approx. 600ml)
- 1 Dashi Pack (or tea bag)
- 1 Piece Dried Kelp (approx. 5x5cm)
- 1 Heaping Tbsp Miso Paste (approx. 20g)
- 3 Cups Water (approx. 600ml)
- 1 Dashi Pack (or tea bag)
- 1 Piece Dried Kelp (approx. 5x5cm)
- 1 Heaping Tbsp Miso Paste (approx. 20g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, combine 3 cups of water, the dashi pack, and the dried kelp. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately remove the kelp, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for 10 minutes to create a flavorful broth.
Step 2
Cut the tofu into approximately 1.5-2cm cubes. Thinly slice the green onion.
Step 3
Remove the dashi pack from the broth. Dissolve the heaped tablespoon of miso paste through a sieve into the broth to ensure no lumps remain. Once the miso is dissolved, add the 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Add the cubed tofu to the pot, followed by the sliced green onions. Let it cook together.
Step 5
When the miso soup comes to a gentle boil again, slowly drizzle the beaten eggs in a circular motion around the surface of the soup. Avoid stirring immediately after adding the eggs; let them cook undisturbed for about 10-20 seconds to form soft ribbons. Stirring too soon can break the eggs into small pieces, making the broth cloudy.
Step 6
Once the egg ribbons are lightly set, gently stir them through the soup. Stir in 1 Tbsp of tuna extract (or soy sauce) and a pinch of black pepper. Your delicious #TofuEggSoup #EggSoup is ready!
Step 7
This simple yet hearty #TofuMisoSoup is perfect for a busy morning meal. It can be a satisfying meal on its own, even without rice!
Step 8
When you have a poor appetite, a sore throat, or just don’t feel like eating much, this miso soup is a comforting and easy option. Try making it just like I do!
Step 9
The addition of tofu makes this a filling and substantial meal.
Step 10
Not long ago, I was fine without soup at meals, but lately, I feel the need for a comforting broth. This simple miso soup, quickly prepared for a meal, becomes hearty with the addition of tofu and egg. Enjoy it warm on a chilly day.
