Instructions
Step 1
Put the mushrooms into a measuring cup and pour 1 cup of boiling water over them. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes, or you can leave them for several hours if you prefer. After soaking, take out the mushrooms from the water and get rid of the stems (if any) before cutting them into thin 1/8-inch slices. Keep them aside. Filter the soaking liquid and keep it for later use in the soup.
Step 2
Start by cutting off the end of each green onion, which will divide the white part from the green part. Reserve the green part for later use as a topping, chopped into small pieces. At the same time, finely chop the white part of each green onion.
Step 3
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the white part of the green onion, ginger and garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Add the vegetable broth and reserved shiitake mushroom liquid to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the broth simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk the miso paste with 1/2 cup of hot broth until smooth. Add the miso mixture to the pot and stir to combine.
Step 6
Add the noodles, chopped bok choy and mushrooms to the pot and simmer for another 5 minutes or until the bok choy is wilted and the noodles are tender.
Step 7
Top with the cubed tofu, sliced scallions, and toasted sesame seeds.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy!
