Silky cubes of firm tofu and delicate ribbons of wakame simmer gently in a warm, savory broth, finished with a swirl of dissolved miso for that deep, comforting umami flavor. A scatter of fresh scallion greens adds color and a little bite right before serving, keeping each bowl bright and light. The technique here matters as much as the ingredients — a gentle simmer and a careful whisk keep the miso silky rather than gritty, and pulling the pot off the heat before it boils protects that delicate flavor. It's a fast, soothing bowl you can pull together on a weeknight, and it fits neatly into a plant-based rotation without any fuss.

If using dried wakame, place it in a small bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for 5 minutes until softened and expanded. Drain, squeeze out excess water, and roughly chop. Set aside.
Pour the dashi (or chicken broth) into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat — small bubbles should break the surface but the liquid should not be at a rolling boil.
