- 4 cups dashi broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup tofu, cubed
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Heat Broth: In a medium pot, bring the dashi broth to a simmer over medium heat to develop the base flavor of the soup.
- Add Ingredients: Add the cubed tofu, sliced mushrooms, soy sauce, and mirin into the simmering broth, stirring gently.
- Simmer: Let the soup simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the tofu to warm through and the mushrooms to become tender without losing their texture.

Notes
- Use vegetable broth as a vegetarian alternative to dashi broth.
- Adjust soy sauce to taste for a less salty soup.
- Fresh mushrooms such as shiitake work best for authentic flavor.
- For gluten-free, ensure the soy sauce is tamari or gluten-free variant.
