Step 1
In a medium pot, bring the 4 cups water and 1 tsp dashi granules to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Step 2
Cut the 8 oz tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and slice the 3 green onions thinly, separating white and green parts.
Step 3
Add the tofu cubes and white parts of the green onions to the simmering broth; cook for 3-4 minutes until tofu is heated through.
Step 4
Place the 3 tbsp red miso paste in a small bowl, ladle in about 1/2 cup of hot broth, and whisk until smooth.
Step 5
Stir the miso mixture back into the pot; do not boil. Simmer gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
