While waiting for the dashi to simmer, cut the green onions into thin slices, using the whole onion including the white part.

Cut the tofu into roughly half inch by half inch cubes.

Once the dashi starts to simmer, add the miso using a whisk to stir it in until fully dissolved.

Add the tofu and dried wakame to the dashi and miso mixture.

Bring the soup to a light simmer and then turn off the heat, ensuring not to boil it.

Serve the miso soup in a traditional Japanese soup bowl.
