Seaweed Soup with Tofu

This fragrant, super-savory seaweed soup is made with vitamin-rich wakame seaweed, the same kind often used for soups popular in Japanese and Korean cuisines.

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup crumbled dried seaweed, such as wakame or kelp (see tip)
  • ¼ cup diced strip steak (optional)
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons white miso (see note), or to taste
  • ½ cup diced firm tofu

Directions:

  1. Place seaweed in a medium bowl, cover with water and let soak for 20 minutes.
  2. Combine steak (if using), scallions, garlic, sesame oil and pepper in another bowl.
  3. Warm a medium saucepan over high heat and add the scallion mixture. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in 4 cups water and miso. Reduce the heat to medium-low so the liquid does not boil. Whisk to dissolve the miso.
  4. Drain the seaweed and stir it into the soup along with tofu. Cook over medium-low for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Taste and season with more miso, if desired.
