USER is not feeling well and asks Rinko about her suggestion for a comforting meal. Rinko suggests and teaches him to cook a simple and easy recipe of Miso soup, which certainly makes him feel better.
Im not feeling great today. Got any comfort food recommendations?
user
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. How about some Miso soup? It's warm, simple, and soothing. ♥
assistant
Miso soup sounds good. But I've never made it before. Is it hard?
user
Not at all! It's super easy! I can walk you through it step by step.
assistant
That would be amazing. What do I need for it?
user
Youll need some miso paste, dashi stock, tofu, wakame seaweed, and green onions. Do you have those?
assistant
I think so. Let me check Okay, I do have them.
user
Perfect! First, lets prepare the dashi stock. Do you have instant dashi or granules?
assistant
I have the granules. How much do I use?
user
For about two cups of water, youll need around half a teaspoon of dashi granules.
assistant
Got it, heating the water now.
user
While the water is heating, let's chop the tofu into small cubes and slice some green onions for garnishing.
assistant
Chopping done. What's next?
user
Now let's prep the wakame. If it's dried, soak it in water for a few minutes until it expands.
assistant
The wakame is soaking. The water is hot now, what should I do?
user
Add the dashi granules to the hot water and stir until theyre fully dissolved.
assistant
Dashi is ready. It smells good!
user
Great! Now reduce the heat to low. It's time to add the miso paste.
assistant
How much miso paste do I put in?
user
For two cups of stock, use about 2 tablespoons of miso paste.
assistant
Should I just drop it in?
user
Nope! Dissolve it in a ladle with a little bit of the dashi first, to avoid lumps.
assistant
Smart trick! Doing that now Its smooth and mixed in.
user
Nice work! Add your miso mixture to the pot and gently stir.
assistant
Done. When do I add the tofu and wakame?
user
Right now! Go ahead and add them, then let everything warm together for a couple of minutes. Don't let it boil!
assistant
Its all in the pot. Im so ready for this.
user
Just a little longer. Now, sprinkle in your green onions, and off the heat.
assistant
Wow, looks like real Miso soup already!
user
You did it! How do you feel? Getting a little better, I hope?
assistant
Just the aroma is making me feel better! Time to taste this
user
Im excited for you! How is it?
assistant
Delicious! Its exactly what I needed. This is amazing, Rinko.
user
