Ingredients
- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups
- Bok choy
- 4 cups, chopped
- Tofu
- 1 cup, cubed
- Green onions
- 1/4 cup, sliced
- Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Miso paste
- 3 tablespoons
- Red pepper flakes
- to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped bok choy, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the pot. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the bok choy is tender and vibrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste with a ladleful of the hot broth until smooth and well combined. This will help to dissolve the miso without clumping.
- Add the miso mixture back into the pot and stir gently to incorporate the flavors.
- Fold in the cubed tofu and sliced green onions, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to warm through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding red pepper flakes for a kick of heat if desired.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor.
Tips
- For added texture, consider including other vegetables such as mushrooms, carrots, or snap peas.
- If you prefer a creamier soup, you can blend a portion of the soup and stir it back in.
- Substitute the tofu with tempeh for a nuttier flavor or omit it for a lighter version.
