Add to Your Miso Soup
Place 2 dashi bags in a saucepan and fill with 2 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer at medium heat for 7 minutes to extract the flavor.
1
Turn off the heat, remove the dashi bags, and dissolve the miso into the dashi using a miso strainer.
If you wish to add tofu or vegetables, add them in this step.
2
Soak aosa separately in water. After rinsing, drain the water.
3
Warm up the miso soup and add aosa. Be careful not to boil the miso soup after you dissolve the miso. Boiling miso soups reduces the aroma, flavor, and taste of miso.
