Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms (1 cup)
4 cups water
1 tablespoon soy sauce, preferably tamari
1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar (unseasoned)
2 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (1/4 cup)
1 scallion, green part only, sliced very thin, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine mushrooms and the water in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat until liquid is at a simmer; cook, partially covered, until broth is a rich brown color, about 25 minutes.
  • Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a medium bowl (or large liquid measuring cup), pressing on mushrooms with a wooden spoon to remove as much liquid as possible; discard mushrooms. Stir soy sauce and vinegar into broth; divide evenly among four bowls. Add tofu, and garnish with scallion. Serve immediately.
