Method
- Put dashi in a pot.
- Add any garnish that needs cooking.
- Heat the dashi, letting it simmer to cook any garnish that needs cooking. Do not bring to a rolling boil, as this degrades the flavor.
- Add any garnish that does not need cooking, and remove from heat.
- Add the miso to the soup. Avoid boiling the miso; some nuances of the flavor will be lost.
