<Ingredients>
1½ cup water
1 cup (120g) Chinese cabbage, chopped
1 cup (100g) mustard spinach / bok choy
100g firm/silken tofu
1 cup (50g) enoki mushrooms
½ cup (80g) leek, sliced
⅓ cup (80g) carrot, sliced
1 small onion, sliced (100g)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 dried shiitake mushroom, thinly sliced

1½ tablespoon Soy sauce
½ tablespoon potato starch +½ tablespoon water
1½ teaspoon yellow miso
1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
½ salt
toppings
chopped green onion
chili oil
black pepper
2 servings of steamed rice
<Directions>
1. Thinly slice Chinese cabbage, leek, onion, garlic and carrot. Remove the stem of the enoki mushroom and separate into pieces. Chop the mustard spinach into big bite size pieces (2 inches long). Cut the tofu into large cubes.
2. Into the pot add pre-sliced dried shiitake mushrooms and water. Add all of the vegetables from step 1 (except for mustard spinach). Sprinkle the vegetable stock powder. Cover with a lid and cook over high heat. Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the vegetables are to your liking (approximately 10 minutes).
3. Remove the lid and turn the heat to medium high. Add the mustard spinach and cubed tofu. Season with miso paste, soy sauce and salt. Thicken the sauce with a mixture of potato starch and water. Once it's thickened to your liking remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Adjust the taste with soy sauce and salt.
4. Scoop steamed rice into a bowl and add a generous amount of vegetable-tofu mixture (step 3) over the top. Sprinkle some chopped green onions. Add a splash of rice vinegar. Enjoy with chili oil and black pepper if you like.

1. Splashing some rice vinegar at the end is MUST-HAVE in my opinion.^^
Feel free to add more soy sauce or miso paste if it's needed.
2. As for the toppings, I recommend chili oil, grated garlic and pickled ginger.
3. If you are using a whole dried shiitake mushroom, please soak it longer according to the package instructions.
4. Please do not use kale as a replacement for chinese cabbage.
<Storage time>
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
