Introduction

A kombu-and-shiitake dashi carries dissolved miso, silken tofu and wakame in the bowl that opens or completes almost every Japanese meal.

Wellness Benefits

  • Miso is a fermented soy food that harmonizes the spleen and stomach and provides probiotics to aid digestion.
  • Wakame and kombu offer iodine and a cooling nature, while tofu adds calcium.

Nutrition Highlights

  • Low in calories yet rich in plant protein and minerals.
  • Fermentation makes the soy nutrients easier to absorb.

Tips

  • Never boil the soup after adding miso, to protect its aroma and beneficial cultures.
  • Dissolve the miso in a ladle of broth first for a smooth, lump-free bowl.
