Variations
- You can use ordinary mushrooms instead of Asian mushrooms.
- Out of bok choy? Cabbage or kale work well, too.
- Not a tofu fan? For a meatier miso use leftover roasted chicken or turkey instead of tofu.
- Not a tofu fan but want to keep it vegetarian? Use 2 cups frozen shelled edamame (soy beans).
HFG tip
Buy wakame in Asian grocery stores or health food stores.
