Miso Soup With Daikon And Sesame

• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
• 8 cups Dashi
• 1/2 whole Medium Size Onion, Thinly Sliced
• 1 whole Small Daikon (1 Should Yield About 1 1/2 Cup), Chopped Bite Size
• 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds
• 7 Tablespoons To 8 Tablespoons Of White Miso Paste (subjective To How Salty You Like It)
• 1 block (16oz / 1lb Size) Silken Tofu
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1. In a medium/large pot over medium heat heat the oil. Then add the dashi, onion and daikon, and bring to boil.
2. Meanwhile roast the sesame seeds in a small pan over medium heat. Take pan off the heat as soon as the seeds begin to pop. Using a pestle and mortar, grind the seeds until they are paste-like. Add this into the soup with the miso paste and stir. Cook for about 30 minutes until the daikon has cooked through and is tender.
3. Add tofu (break it with yours fingers). Season with black pepper. Mix to combine everything and once the tofu is heated, remove it from the heat. Serve miso soup with Japanese rice (optional).
