Today’s miso soup is made with daikon radish and fried tofu (Atsuage). Thickly cut fried tofu called Atsuage is easily found at markets in Japan, and it adds both texture and richness to the soup. If it’s not possible to find it, you can also use regular tofu.
Instant dashi powder is used as a shortcut to make the Dashi in no time. You can certainly use any types of dashi. Please check Back to Basics: How to Make Dashi to learn more about different types of dashi.
