Miso Soup With Tofu and Mushrooms

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
3 cups Dashi Stock
2 thinly sliced Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms
1 1/2 tablespoons Miso Paste
1 tablespoon Japanese Soy Sauce
1 1/2 ounces Silken Tofu—cut into cubes
1/2 Scallion—thinly sliced on the diagonal
 
   
Preparation:  
   

BRING the stock to a gentle boil in a saucepan, add the mushrooms and simmer for 3 minutes.

MIX together the miso and soy sauce in a small bowl, then add to the hot dashi stock.

ADD the tofu.

HEAT the soup and, just before it comes to the boil, remove from the heat.

POUR the soup into bowls and garnish with the sliced scallions on top to serve.

Variations: you can add various other ingredients to make a more substantial soup, such as cooked shrimp, snow pea sprouts, cooked rice noodles, or paper-thin slices of fresh ginger.
