Cookware
baking sheet pan · chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater (optional) · ladle · measuring cups · measuring spoons · medium saucepan · mixing bowls · stirring spoon
Directions
- Cut the tofu in half lengthwise, then press between clean towels or paper towels on a baking sheet with a weight on top to remove excess moisture.
- Wash and dry all fresh produce, then thinly slice the cremini mushrooms and place them in a small bowl.
- Peel and finely mince the ginger and garlic and add them to the bowl with the mushrooms.
- Warm a medium saucepan over medium heat, then swirl in a little oil and cook the mushrooms with the ginger and garlic until lightly browned, about 5–6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the tofu into ½-inch cubes.
- Pour the broth into the hot pan and bring to a boil, then add the tofu, soba noodles, edamame, and a splash of soy sauce; return to a simmer and cook until the noodles are tender and the tofu is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the green onions just before serving and ladle the soup into bowls.
Two tips
- Pressing the tofu during the initial step frees moisture and helps it hold shape in the soup.
- For serving, drizzle a bit of toasted sesame oil on top or sprinkle extra green onions.
