Ingredients

  • 2 Inches Dried Kombu
  • ¼ Cup Grated Onion
  • 8 Cups Water
  • ¼ Cup Miso Paste (more if needed)
  • 1 Teaspoon Sampalok (Tamarind) Paste (more if needed)
  • 1 Cup Small Cubed Tokwa (Tofu)
  • 1 Cup Shredded and Chopped Mustasa (Mustard Greens)

Instructions

  • Put about kombu and the grated onion in a pot.
  • Next pour in 8 cups of water and bring it up to a rapid boil.  Once the water is boiling add in the miso paste.  I start with ¼ cup and add more if nessesary.  Then add in the sampalok paste.  I start with 1 teaspoon and taste and add more if needed.
    Once you have the seasoning down add in the tokwa (tofu) that has been cut into small cubes.  Leave to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add in the mustasa (mustard greens) in while the soup is hot, but just before serving.
  • Store any left over Miso soup in the refrigerator and re-heat up on the stove.
