Miso soup is quick and easy, and good for you - not to mention absolutely delicious.

1 1/2 tablespoons instant dashi (or enough to combine with 1L water according to packet instructions)
2 tablespoons white (shiro) miso paste
100g snow peas, trimmed
200g silken firm tofu, drained
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Method

1.

Place dashi in a pan with 1 litre (4 cups) boiling water and stir for 2 minutes over medium heat. Place miso paste in a bowl and add a ladleful of broth, whisking to get rid of lumps. Slowly pour mixture back into pan, whisking constantly.
2.

Thinly slice the snow peas and cut the tofu into 2cm cubes. Add both to the broth with the mirin and soy sauce and heat through gently without boiling.
3.

Serve in small bowls.
