Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Filipino, Japanese
Servings: 8 Servings
- 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)
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.
