Tempura prawns with classic miso soup is a great starter that will lift the excitement levels in your menus! Miso soup is the perfect companion to tempura prawns and definitely gives the dish some real Japanese cred! You can find bonito flakes (dried tuna flakes), wakame (edible seaweed), and kombu (edible kelp) at Japanese markets or in international sections of large grocery stores. Keep bonito flakes in your freezer to keep them fresh. Scale and prepare elements of the miso soup prior to service which will allow you to plate and serve this dish promptly. Ideal for restaurants, bistros and hotels.

For the classic miso soup
Combine kombu and 4 cups water in a medium saucepan. Let sit until kombu softens, 25 -30 minutes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately remove from heat once water starts simmering. Remove kombu and discard. Add bonito flakes and stir once to submerge them. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine wakame and 3 tbsp water in a small bowl, let sit until wakame is softened 10-15 minutes. Strain dashi (your broth) through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Discard solids, wipe out pot, and return dashi to pot. Add tofu and wakame and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Submerge sieve in liquid, add miso to sieve, and stir to liquefy miso, then press through strainer until miso is dissolved. Divide soup among bowls. Top with scallions.
