Soba Soup With Vegetables and Tofu (quick)

Recipe By :Main Course Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : New Import

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 ounces soba (buckwheat noodles)

5 cups water

1/2 cup tamari soy sauce

2 carrots -- very thinly sliced

1/2 pound firm tofu -- 1/2-inch cubes

1/2 cup miso

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 scallions -- very thinly sliced

1. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and cook the soba about 5 minutes, or until

al dente. Do not overcook it. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold running

water, drain again, and set aside.

2. In the same pot, bring the 5 cups of water and the tamari to a boil. Drop in

the carrots and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in the tofu and cook 1 minute. Place the

miso in a bowl, then remove about 1/2 cup of the broth and stir it into the miso

to dilute it. Pour the mixture into the broth. Remove the pot from the heat so

the miso doesn't boil. Stir in the sesame oil.

3. Place some soba in large soup bowls and ladle the soup over it. Sprinkle on

the scallions.

Jeanne's favorite variety of miso is the light colored sweet miso.
