Miso Soup (serves two)

I have been craving to cook my own miso soup but doesn't know how to go about it until I come across Dr Lesie Tay's Ieatishootipost blog on one of his ieatvideo. There is one particular video which teaches how to make simple miso soup on your own. So I am gald that I can make my own and share this recipe with you guys =D 

Ingredients:
1 silken Tofu - cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon of miso
* I dun really want my soup to taste super salty so I bought the above instead
1 Packet of dashi soup powder

Method:-
  1. Boil a pot of water and add in dashi soup powder. Stir well.


2.  Lower the fire to small fire. Disolve one tablespoon of miso with wire ladles(like above) into the   soup(this step is to enable miso being dissolve into the soup evenly.)
3. Add in tofu and simmer for1 to 2 mins.

If you prefer with seaweed, you can add in some wakame seaweed before adding in tofu. You can get such seaweed at Singapore Meidi-Ya supermarket which is located at Liang Court.

You may also want to refer to the below ieatvideo for clearer idea of how to prepare this simple soup.
