MISO SOUP WITH TOFU AND MUSHROOMS

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups dashi
1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
4 tablespoons red miso
10 ounces tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Chopped green onions, for garnish
3 quarts cold water
3 ounces giant kelp, (kombu)
3 ounces dried bonito flakes

Steps:

  • Heat the dashi to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the mushrooms and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Soften the miso in a small bowl by mixing it with a few tablespoons of hot dashi. Pour the softened miso into the saucepan. Heat the soup, being careful not to boil, and add tofu. Pour into individual soup bowls and garnish with the green onions.
  • Combine the water and kelp in a large pot. Bring the water to a boil, removing the kelp just before water boils since it emits a strong odor. If the fleshiest part of the kelp is still tough, return it to the water for a few more minutes, along with a little cold water. (Soft kelp means sufficient flavor has been extracted.) Remove the kelp and bring stock to a full boil.
  • Add 1/4 cup cold water to bring the temperature down quickly and add the bonito flakes. Bring to a boil, and then immediately remove from the heat. (If bonito flakes boil too long, the stock becomes bitter.) Allow the flakes to settle to the bottom of the pan, then filter the stock through cheesecloth.

Tips for Making the Best Miso Soup with Shiitake Mushrooms and Tofu:

- To extract the most flavor from the shiitake mushrooms, soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using. - Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Try a mix of shiitake, oyster, and enoki mushrooms. - If you don't have time to soak the mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms instead. Just add them to the soup pot along with the other ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. - Use a good quality dashi stock for the best flavor. You can make your own dashi stock using kombu (kelp) and katsuobushi (bonito flakes), or you can use a pre-made dashi stock from the store. - Add the miso paste at the end of the cooking process to prevent it from boiling, which can make it taste bitter. - Serve the miso soup hot, garnished with green onions, thinly sliced nori (seaweed), or a sprinkle of togarashi (Japanese seven-spice powder).

Conclusion:

This simple yet delicious miso soup with shiitake mushrooms and tofu is a great way to warm up on a cold day or to enjoy as a light and healthy meal.
