  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or cremini)

  • 1 small bunch baby bok choy (or spinach)

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

  • Optional: chili flakes, toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Build the Base

  1. Heat sesame oil in a medium pot over medium heat.

  2. Add grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2: Make the Broth
3. Pour in vegetable broth.
4. Reduce heat to low and whisk in miso paste, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
5. Stir gently and avoid boiling to preserve the miso flavor.

Step 3: Add the Veggies and Tofu
6. Add sliced mushrooms and simmer for 4–5 minutes until tender.
7. Add cubed tofu and let it warm through for 2 minutes.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles
8. In a separate pot, cook noodles according to package directions until al dente.
9. Drain and rinse briefly under cool water.

 

Step 5: Combine and Serve
10. Add noodles and bok choy to the broth.
11. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until greens are wilted.
12. Ladle soup into bowls, top with scallions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes if desired.

Notes

  • Tofu Tip: Press tofu for 10–15 minutes before cubing for better texture.

  • Broth Balance: Adjust miso and soy sauce to taste for a saltier or milder broth.

  • Add Protein: Soft-boiled eggs, shredded chicken, or shrimp work beautifully.

  • Storage: Store leftovers up to 3 days. Keep noodles and broth separate to avoid sogginess.

  • Make It Spicy: Add chili oil or sriracha before serving for an extra kick.
