Thank you for making this recipe popular on 2015/04/11! I was really craving a miso soup with lots of okra and a rich bonito flavor, so I created this recipe based on what I imagined. I wanted to enjoy okra in miso soup, so I tried making it just the way I pictured.

Steps

1

Thinly slice plenty of okra. If you have a small pack of tofu, use that; otherwise, cut 1/2 block into cubes.
2

Bring the water to a boil, then add the dashi granules, tofu, and okra. Let it simmer briefly.
3

Turn off the heat and add the miso. Since the soup is thick, it’s easier to dissolve the miso by ladling a little soup into a bowl, mixing in the miso, then returning it to the pot.
4

Add the bonito flakes either directly to the pot or to each serving bowl before pouring in the soup. (The photo shows the bonito flakes added directly to the pot.)
