A House Japanese Miso and Mushroom Soup

Created by Kchurchill5 on August 28, 2013

3 ounces tofu, firm (diced)
2 ounces noodles, dry (dried mungbean thick noodles also called vermicelli; but an american boxed vermicelli will also work)
3 ounces mushrooms, shitake (stems removed and thin sliced shitake stems are very tough)
2 ounces mushrooms, enoki
1 cup bok choy (rough chopped hard stems removed)
3 to 4 scallions, diced (white and green parts)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon miso paste
1 tablespoon sake

Step 1: Broth ... Add the broth, miso, sake, mirin, soy, and red pepper flakes to a medium size pot; and, bring to a light boil. Simmer 2 minutes. Then, add the tofu, mushrooms, and noodles, and cook another 2-3 minutes; then, add the bok choy, and cook 4 more minutes - until the bok choy and mushrooms are almost tender. To finish, add the scallions, and cook another 2-3 minutes until all the vegetables are tender. Season with fresh ground pepper if you want. That's it!
Step 2: Finish, Serve, and ENJOY! ... Finish the bowls with additional enoki mushrooms, scallions, and bean sprouts. Even though it is a broth soup; it is rich and delicious. The best part ... it takes no time to prepare. Just a few minutes to dice a few items; and the soup can be ready. This is wonderful served with an Asian inspired grilled seafood dish, served over rice or grilled vegetables. This also makes a perfect light dinner or lunch.
