Miso Soup With Tofu And Enoki Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, saute the mushrooms, onion, garlic and ginger in oil until tender. Add the water and miso paste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Add tofu; heat through. Ladle into bowls; garnish with green onions.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine dashi granules and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and whisk in the miso paste. Stir in tofu. Separate the layers of the green onions, and add them to the soup. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• For the dashi stock: Combine the cold water and kombu in a medium pot. Place the pot over medium heat; as the water comes to a simmer, you'll see tiny bubbles start to form on the bottom of the pot. Do not let the water come to a boil; it should remain at a low simmer. Remove the kombu.
• Once the water starts to simmer gently, sprinkle in the bonito flakes. Let the flakes steep without stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and strain the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into another medium pot. You should have about 4 cups of dashi stock.
• For the miso soup: To reconstitute the wakame seaweed, place 1 cup hot water in a medium bowl and sprinkle in the wakame; let it soak for about 2 minutes. Rinse the wakame under cold water, squeeze out the water with your hands and then chop the wakame.
• Heat the dashi stock over medium-low heat until just under a simmer. Add the wakame and allow to cook and intermingle for about 5 minutes.
• Submerge a small sieve into the saucepan until the rim is just above the stock. Add 1/4 cup of the miso to the sieve and use a wooden spoon to work the miso through the sieve into the soup; this will prevent lumps from forming. Stir well and taste the soup -- if it's not salty enough, add additional miso.
• Add the tofu and scallions and let them cook in the broth just until warmed through, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Make the dashi: Put kombu, dried shiitakes, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a large soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water. Place over medium heat, allow the liquid to barely reach a boil, then reduce heat to low and let cook at a very slow simmer for about 30 minutes. Skim foam as necessary. Let cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and add salt to taste. (Dashi may be prepared up to 2 days in advance.)
• Put the sliced mushrooms in a bowl and drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce. Add garlic and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Toss and let marinate for 10 minutes.
• Put dashi in a large soup pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add mushroom mixture and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are just tender.
• Remove 1/2 cup hot broth from pot and place in a small bowl. Stir in miso to dilute, then return miso-broth mixture to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Once the miso has been added, do not let the soup boil.
• To serve, cut the tofu in half and place a 3-ounce chunk in each of two large bowls. Ladle 2 cups of hot soup over the tofu. Sprinkle with enoki mushroom tips, scallions, shiso, sunflower sprouts, nori, red pepper and toasted sesame seeds as desired.

Steps:

• Combine water and bonito; let stand 2 minutes. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard solids.
• Bring the liquid to a boil in a large saucepan. Add yellow and red miso and soy sauce; stir well with a whisk until smooth.
• Divide the enoki mushrooms and tofu evenly among 6 soup bowls, and ladle 1 cup soup into each bowl.

Steps:

• Using extreme caution, cut the tofu into cubes, trim snow peas. Cut mushroom ends
• In a medium size saucepan, Add dashi and bring it to a boil. Add tofu, snow peas, and enoki, for 3 minutes.
• Turn of the heat. In a small dish, place miso. Add a small amount of dashi and dissolve the miso. Pour over dissolved miso into the pot. Turn back the heat and warm up the soup, right before it boils.
• Enjoy!
