Miso Soup with Tofu and Mushrooms

c.1997, M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger, all rights reserved

4 cups dashi 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms 4 tablespoons red miso 10 ounces tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes Chopped green onions, for garnish Heat the dashi to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the mushrooms and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Soften the miso in a small bowl by mixing it with a few tablespoons of hot dashi. Pour the softened miso into the saucepan. Heat the soup, being careful not to boil, and add tofu. Pour into individual soup bowls and garnish with the green onions. BASIC DASHI: 3 quarts cold water 3 ounces giant kelp, (kombu) 3 ounces dried bonito flakes Combine the water and kelp in a large pot. Bring the water to a boil, removing the kelp just before water boils since it emits a strong odor. If the fleshiest part of the kelp is still tough, return it to the water for a few more minutes, along with a little cold water. (Soft kelp means sufficient flavor has been extracted.) Remove the kelp and bring stock to a full boil. Add 1/4 cup cold water to bring the temperature down quickly and add the bonito flakes. Bring to a boil, and then immediately remove from the heat. (If bonito flakes boil too long, the stock becomes bitter.) Allow the flakes to settle to the bottom of the pan, then filter the stock through cheesecloth. Yield: About 2 quarts

How to make delicious meat less vegetarian food
Three years ago I decided to go "meatless." It wasn't a difficult decision as I wasn't a voracious carnivore to begin with, however there were a few dishes that I missed that contained meat and wondered how I was going to live without these favorites

8 Sumptuous Vegetarian Substitutes To Meat!
There are many vegetarian dishes that can be substituted for meat dishes. Some people are inclined to switch to vegetarian cooking for a change in lifestyle and some for a healthier way of life. The fact is that vegetarian cooking is much healthier than meat dishes, and there is no reference to the morals of vegetarians here, we refer to the ingredients of meat dishes that are packed with fats and calories that lead to very unhealthy lifestyles.

Vegetarian Breakfast
