Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 4 cups Dashi stock
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 1 cup Sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 2 Scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
Instructions
Begin by draining the tofu and wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the dashi stock in a medium-sized pot over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
Once the tofu is drained, cut it into small 1-inch cubes.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the simmering dashi stock and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully whisk in the miso paste. Ensure the miso is fully dissolved without bringing the broth back to a boil.
Add the tofu cubes and spinach leaves to the pot, stirring gently to combine. Allow them to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil for added depth of flavor.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions just before serving.
Serve the soup hot, distributing tofu and mushrooms evenly among bowls.
