Just wanted to post a photo of some miso soup I made a while ago that looked really pretty

The rice is easy to make like that. just smush it into a little bowl and turn upside down till the rice falls out.
(This One is NOT my recipe. Recipe from Food of Japan , Shirley booth)
serves 4
ingredients:
2 Tbsp Dried Wakame (seaweed)
1 small block silken tofu
5 Tbsp Miso
1 litre Dashi stock
2 chopped spring onions (to garnish)
1. soak dried wakame in cold water until soft (a few minutes should do) squeeze water away. Chop tofu into little cubes.
2. Divide wakame and tofu between four small bowls. Put the miso into a small bowl/cup
3. Bring the dashi to a boil in a saucepan and use a couple of tablespoons of it to mix into the miso till it’s a thin paste. blend it thoroughly.
4. Pour miso paste into the Dashi, mix in. Remove from the heat and ladle the soup carefully on top of the ingredients in each bowl. Garnish with spring onions and serve.
