Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Cut the tofu, spinach, and mushrooms.
Bring the dashi to a boil, then add the vegetables and grated ginger.

Mix the potato starch with double the amount of water, then stir it into the boiling soup.
Keep it at a gentle boil and slowly drizzle in the beaten egg.
Serve in a bowl and top with sliced green onion and shichimi if you like.
Use homemade vegan dashi for a cleaner and more authentic flavor.
Grating fresh ginger adds a subtle warmth to the soup.
Adjust the amount of mushrooms and spinach based on your preference.
For extra flavor, garnish with sliced green onion and shichimi.
Can I use store-bought dashi instead of homemade?

Can I make this soup vegetarian?

What is shichimi and where can I find it?
Shichimi is a Japanese spice blend that adds heat and flavor. You can find it in Asian grocery stores or online.
