The Greatest Miso Soup

Ingredients

• 20cm leek
• 150g (1/2 packet) tofu
• 8g bonito flake
• 2 tablespoons miso
• 1.5 teaspoon (8 dashes) ajinomoto umami seasoning
• 450ml water

Instructions

1. Shred/cut the leek into small pieces.
2. Microwave bonito flake for a minute on 600w without a lid and powder the flakes with hands.
3. Add powdered bonito flakes and ajinomoto into water and bring to boil.
4. Add leek and tofu and heat for a few minutes.
5. Reduce heat to very low and add miso.

Notes

• Use natural miso without MSG/dashi for this recipe, as ajinomoto together with bonito flakes bring out the umami.
• Do not heat on high after adding miso as it loses its miso umami flavor.
