Tips
- Miso Mastery: Always dissolve miso paste off direct heat to preserve its probiotic benefits and delicate flavor profile.
- Temperature Control: Keep the broth at a gentle simmer, never boiling, to maintain the soup's delicate nutrients.
- Ingredient Prep: Have all ingredients chopped and ready before starting to ensure the 5-minute cooking time.
- Tofu Selection: Use firm or extra-firm tofu for best texture and to prevent crumbling during cooking.
- Freshness Matters: Use the freshest vegetables possible for maximum nutritional impact and vibrant flavor.
- Customization: Feel free to swap vegetables based on what's in your refrigerator—this recipe is wonderfully flexible!
