Basic Clear Soup step by step

1. Heat Dashi Stock (OR Water & Dashi Powder) in a large saucepan or a pot, add the ingredients and cook them in the stock until cooked. *Note: Use about 2 teaspoons Dashi Powder for 4 cups Water OR according to the instruction on the package..
2. Note: You should season the soup before adding Tofu, Egg, already cooked Vegetables or anything that can be cooked quickly..
3. Season the soup with Salt and Soy Sauce. Sprinkle with finely chopped Spring Onions and serve..
4. *Yuzu Peel: A small piece of Yuzu Peel can be added instead of Spring Onion. As Clear Soup has a very delicate flavour, Yuzu Peel, that has a wonderful fragrance, makes the soup smell and taste nicer. Only if you are lucky to find Yuzu Fruit..
5. *Mitsuba: Mitsuba, Japanese parsley, is also popularly used to add a fragrance to the Clear Soup. But I know Mitsuba is also very difficult to find..
