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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the tofu and wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the dashi stock in a medium-sized pot over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Once the tofu is drained, cut it into small 1-inch cubes.
Step 4
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the simmering dashi stock and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Add the tofu cubes and spinach leaves to the pot, stirring gently to combine. Allow them to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil for added depth of flavor.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions just before serving.
Step 9
Serve the soup hot, distributing tofu and mushrooms evenly among bowls.
