Ingredients
Soup Base
- 5 cups water
- 4 – 5 tablespoons miso (your favorite type)
- 1 nori sheet, cut into slivers or a small handful of wakame or dulse
Noodles
- 1 package (9 oz) noodles (udon, soba, ramen, mung bean, or rice noodles) or 2 packages (7 oz) fresh udon noodles
Add-ins and Garnish
- 7 oz organic firm or extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 – 3 scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare your choice of noodles according to the package instructions. If using precooked or fresh noodles, simply set aside until ready to warm in the soup.
- Heat Soup Base: In a medium pot, combine water and miso paste. Gently heat over medium-low heat while stirring occasionally until the miso has fully dissolved. If using seaweed that needs soaking (like wakame or dulse), add it to the pot now to infuse flavor. Once soft, remove with tongs, slice if needed, and add back into the soup.
- Add Tofu and Noodles: Add the cubed tofu and cooked noodles to the pot. Continue cooking until everything is warmed through, ensuring the tofu absorbs some of the broth’s flavor.
- Serve: Use tongs to portion noodles into bowls. Ladle the hot broth and tofu over the noodles. Top with shredded carrots, sliced scallions, and nori slivers if using. Stir gently and enjoy your warming bowl of miso noodle soup!
