Quick And Dirty Miso Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 packet dashi (fish flakes)
1/2 c. miso (red or yellow)
2 scallions
1/4 lb. tofu
1/4 tsp. ginger (fresh grated)

Preparation

Make fish broth by boiling the fish flakes in about a quart of water until the water is pale yellow and tastes fishy. Strain the flakes from the broth. Slice the scallions into very thin rounds; cut the tofu into small cubes and add both to the broth. When the scallions are soft (just a few minutes), add the miso and ginger. Heat (without boiling) to serving temperature.
