Change this recipe up for more flavor by using five spice baked tofu or make it heartier with the addition of buckwheat noodles.

  • 8 ounces of tofu, drained and cut into ½-inch-dice
  • 4 ounces of shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

    1. Pour the stock into a large sauce pan and bring to a boil.
    2. Add the spinach, tofu, mushrooms, and ginger, return to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes.
    3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

TIP: For extra umami character, add a few dashes of fish sauce.
