miso soup I

First attempt at miso soup.

Absolute entry-level miso soup would have been water, miso, and these instant dashi granules. I also added, oh, a spoonful of wakame.

Each half-inch matchstick of wakame reconstitutes into a sheet of seaweed at least one inch by two, so my little cup of soup turned into a morass of seaweed all clinging to itself. Eating this Sargasso was mechanically non-trivial. But it tasted good, and there was enough broth to wet each spoonful of seaweed.

Next trial: more tasty bits.
