Ingredients

Ginger Miso Broth

• 2 tsp sesame or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup onion, finely-minced
• 2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp freshly minced ginger (or crushed ginger paste)
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 Tbsp miso paste
• salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste

For the Ginger Miso Soba Soup

• 115gr soba (buckwheat) noodles
• 1/2 cup fresh shitake mushrooms, roughly-chopped
• 1 cup (packed) kale leaves, roughly-chopped
• 200gr firm or extra-firm tofu
• 1/2 cup spring onion, chopped
• small handful of radish sprouts, pea shoots, bean sprouts, etc.
• sesame seeds and/or chili flakes, for serving

Preparation

Make the Broth:

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the onion, garlic and ginger, and cook for a few minutes until softened.
2. Add the soy sauce, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute then add the stock, cover and bring to a boil. Remove the lid, and let simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes.
3. Ladle a half cup or so of the broth into a small bowl. Stir in the miso paste and whisk until dissolved. Pour the miso broth into the pot and simmer for a minute or two to heat through (but don’t let come to a boil).

Prepare the Ginger Miso Soba Soup:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the soba noodles according to package directions, about 3 minutes.
2. Alternatively, cook the soba noodles in the simmering ginger broth, prior to adding the miso. Add the mushrooms and kale and cook for a minute or two to soften.
