Here is a recipe that uses tofu, green onions, and mushrooms.
Ingredients:
* about 30 half-inch cubes tofu
* 4 mushrooms, sliced
* 2 stalks green onions, chopped
* 4 cups water
* 2 teaspoons dashi (nomoto)
* 3-4 tablespoons miso (adjust to taste)
Directions
Boil 4 cups of water and dashi. Add tofu and mushrooms, simmer gently about 3 minutes. Add miso and dissolve completely. Immediately turn off the heat and add chopped green onions, then serve.
Note: You have to cook the hard vegetables longer. If you have a combination of soft and hard vegetables, add the soft vegetables later. The miso flavor will weaken if you overcook the miso.
