miso soup

Sometime last week I decided, while shopping at Uwajimaya, that I really wanted to make some miso soup. I bought dashi miso (is it cheating to use that instead of regular miso paste? I don't think so), some seaweed, and went home to easily concoct my miso soup. I lightly sauteed some extra firm tofu in a little sesame oil, added the miso paste to very, very hot water, then tossed in a liberal amount of seaweed and tofu, and some chopped green onion on top. The resulting soup was awesome, and just what I needed.
