Recipe Introduction
A whole beaten egg forms much better threads than egg substitute in this soup.
List of Ingredients
6 cups cold water
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp fresh or instant low-sodium miso (see Miso)
8 ozs firm low-fat tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 egg, well beaten
1 tsp sesame oil
2 green onions, minced
2 sprigs fresh cilantro, minced Recipe
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Dissolve the cornstarch in a little water, then add it to the pot along with the miso. (if using fresh miso, dilute it in a little water before adding it to the pot.) Add the tofu and bring to a second boil. Slowly pour in the beaten egg, while stirring the soup in one direction with a chopstick or fork so the egg cooks into threads. Remove from the heat. Stir in the sesame oil. Garnish with green onions and cilantro and serve.
Serves 6.
