Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams Soft tofu
- 4 pieces Shiitake mushrooms
- 2 small heads Bok choy
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 500 milliliters Dashi stock
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mirin
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the shiitake mushrooms into thin strips, chop the bok choy into halves or quarters lengthwise, and finely slice the green onions.
2. Drain the soft tofu and cut it into large cubes (approximately 2-inch pieces).
3. In a medium-sized pot, heat the dashi stock over medium heat.
4. Once the stock is warm, add the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and salt. Stir gently to combine.
5. Add the mushrooms and bok choy to the pot. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables slightly soften.
6. Carefully add the tofu cubes to the pot. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes to warm the tofu through without breaking it.
7. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with extra soy sauce or salt if needed.
8. Serve the hot pot immediately in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions on top.
