Dashi
1 (2- to 3-inch piece) kombu (dried kelp)
3 cups cold water
1 (5-g) package katsuo bushi (dried bonito flakes; 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons shiro miso (white fermented-soybean paste)
1/4 pound soft tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • Sprinkle katsuo bushi over liquid and remove pan from heat. Let stand 3 minutes, then pour through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl.

  • Stir together misto and 1/4 cup dashi in a bowl until smooth. Heat remaining dashi in saucepan over moderately high heat until hot, then gently stir in tofu. Simmer 1minute and remove from heat. Immediately stir in miso mixture and and scallion greens and serve.
