Ingredients
- 4 oz shiitake mushrooms
- 8 oz firm tofu
- 5 oz soba buckwheat noodles
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced
- 1 1/2 tbsp white or yellow miso paste
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 8 oz baby bok choy
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 medium green onions chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables by cleaning and cutting the mushrooms into thin slices, peeling and mincing the garlic, and finely chopping the green onions into rounds.
- Slice the tofu into strips.
- Wash the bok choy and trim the ends—slice in halves or quarters, depending on size.
- Heat the neutral oil in a large pot over medium. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they brown for 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the miso paste and the minced ginger, and add a small amount of the broth, stirring until the miso is dissolved.
- Add the remaining broth and cook for 5 minutes.
- While the soup is cooking, heat a medium-large pot of water and cook the soba noodles until slightly underdone. Drain and rinse with lukewarm water to remove excess starch.
- Add to the soup the tofu and bok choy.
- Cook until bok choy starts to wilt and the ends can be pierced with a fork, 3-5 minutes.
- Add the soy, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Cook for a final 1-2 minutes.
- Add the noodles and taste, adjusting soy and sesame as needed.
