Warm your soul with this comforting and versatile soup base for any occasion.

1

Start by preparing the dashi. If you are using instant dashi granules, dissolve them in 4 cups of water in a pot over medium heat. If using kombu and katsuobushi, soak 15 grams of kombu in 4 cups of water for 30 minutes, then bring to a boil, remove the kombu, and add 15 grams of katsuobushi. Let it simmer for 5 minutes before straining.

2

Once your dashi is ready, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of mirin to the pot.

3

Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar, mixing well until it dissolves.

4

Slice the green onions and add them to the pot.

5

In another pot, heat some water and add the tofu, cooking for about 3 minutes until warmed through.

6

Remove the tofu and slice it into bite-sized pieces before adding it to the dashi mixture.

7

Slice the shiitake mushrooms and add them to the pot as well, cooking for about 5 minutes until tender.

8

Let the soup simmer for a further 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

9

Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
