     Title: Miso Soup
Categories: Vegetables, Soups, Wine, Herbs
     Yield: 4 servings

     1    (5") square kombu (dried
          - kelp)
     1 tb Sake
     1 tb Mirin
     5 g  Wakame (dried seaweed);
          - crushed (1/4 cup)
     2 c  Loose packed katsuobushi
          - (often labeled "bonito
          - flakes")
    14 oz Package silken tofu;
          - drained
   1/4 c  Miso; white or red, more to
          - taste
     1 lg Scallion; thin sliced

 Make dashi, the soup base, by soaking kombu in 4 cups of
 cold water for 15 minutes in a medium pot. Add the sake
 and mirin and bring to a simmer over high heat. As soon
 as the water starts to boil, take the pot off the heat,
 cover and let the kombu steep until the liquid smells
 like the sea, about 15 minutes.

 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, soak the wakame in about 3
 inches of cold water until soft, about 15 minutes as
 well. Drain and set aside.

 When ready to serve, remove the kombu from the pot (see
 Tip). Stir the katsuobushi into the kombu broth, cover
 and let steep for 1 minute. Strain into a medium bowl,
 pressing down on the katsuobushi to extract all of the
 liquid; discard the spent flakes. This is your dashi.

 Return the dashi to the pot and add the drained wakame.
 Scoop the tofu into the pot using a spoon or your hand,
 leaving it in large chunks. Bring the soup to a boil,
 then remove from the heat.

 Add the miso to a small bowl, then ladle over some of
 the broth and stir to dissolve. Add the dissolved miso
 to the pot and gently stir until incorporated. Add the
 scallion, taste for seasoning (adding more miso if yourCOd
 like) and serve immediately.
