Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
step 1
Cut an Onion (1/2) in half and remove the stem. Then slice it into thin strips of about 5 mm (1/4-inch).
step 2
Cut the Tofu (3.5 oz) into 1 cm (1/2-inch) cubes with a knife. Thinly slice the Spring Onion (1 stalk) for garnish.
step 3
Put the Mackerel in Oil (1 can) with its oil into a pot. Separate the mackerel into pieces with a spoon and add the Water (1 1/2 cups).
step 4
Add the onions and heat over high heat.
step 5
When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer until the onions are slightly translucent. Once the scum appears on the top, remove it with a spoon.
step 6
When the onions start to cook through, lower the heat. Dissolve Miso Paste (1 2/3 Tbsp) with a mesh ladle in a soup.
step 7
Add the tofu. Continue to heat the soup over low heat until the tofu is warmed.
step 8
Add Soy Sauce (1 tsp) and Mirin (1 tsp), if using.
step 9
Serve the soup in a bowl and garnish with sliced spring onion on top. You can add Japanese Chili Powder (2 pinches) and Fresh Ginger (1 tsp).
