Soak the dried tofu in water for 10–20 minutes to rehydrate then squeeze out excess water and slice into cubes.
- Make the Broth:
- After soaking, heat the pot with kombu and water over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer, but do not let it boil. Remove the kombu just before it starts to boil.
- Dissolve the miso paste in a cup of warm water, and then whisk it into the pot. Add tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and agave nectar or maple syrup to the broth. Let the broth simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
