Mushroom Sesame Tofu Soup Recipes

MUSHROOM-SESAME-TOFU SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan (I used a 3 qt saucepan) and sauté the onions and ginger for 4 minutes.
• Add the celrey and sauté for another 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, reduce the heat, and cook for 10 minutes.
• Add the cayenne, salt, bay leaves, tomatoes and juice, and broth.
• Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add the tahini and peanut butter.
• Stir until peanut butter has dissolved.
• Add the tofu and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Stir periodically to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pan.

MISO SOUP WITH TOFU AND MUSHROOMS

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.

MISO MUSHROOM & TOFU NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and fry for 5-6 mins, or until golden. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the tofu for 3-4 mins, or until evenly golden.
• Mix the miso paste with 325ml boiling water in a jug. Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and transfer to a bowl. Top with the mushrooms and tofu, then pour over the miso broth. Scatter over the spring onions just before serving.

JAPANESE SOUP WITH TOFU AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring stock to a boil; reduce heat to simmer, add mushrooms, and cook for 3 minutes. In a small bowl, mix miso paste and soy sauce together; stir into stock along with tofu. Simmer 5 minutes, and serve topped with with green onion.

MOOSEWOOD MUSHROOM SESAME TOFU STEW

Steps:

• In a covered soup pot on high heat, cook the onions in the water, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the celery and continue to cook, covered, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Add more water if the vegetables begin to stick. Add the mushrooms, lower the heat, and cook until the mushrooms begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bay leaves, ginger, and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tahini or peanut butter, add the tofu, and simmer on a heat diffuser or on very low heat for a few minutes more. Add salt, soy sauce, or hot sauce to taste; discard the bay leaves and serve.

MUSHROOM AND TOFU SOUP

Steps:

• Warm the sesame oil in a soup pot over medium heat, add the shallots and gingerroot and saute until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the two broths, soy sauce, vinegar and chili-pepper sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Cook the noodles until tender, drain, cool under running water and add to the broth. Cut the tofu cakes into 1/2-inch squares and add, along with the coriander. Simmer for 1 minute, ladle into large soup bowls and serve, garnished with minced scallions.

TOFU AND MUSHROOM RAMEN

Steps:

• Heat canola and sesame oils in a 6-quart stockpot over medium-high until hot. Add mushrooms and tofu and sautè for 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Add butter to the hot pot and swirl to almost melt. Add shallot and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour in water and stir in miso paste and chicken base until they are dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Distribute mushrooms and tofu amongst 4 bowls.
• Bring liquid in the pot back to a boil and add ramen bricks, 1 at a time. Boil each brick for 1 minute, remove from broth with a ladle, and set into a serving bowl. Ladle additional broth on top so the ramen noodles continue cooking.
• Garnish each bowl with green onions and carrots.
