Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grate super firm tofu over a parchment-lined baking tray and toss with tamari, vinegar, cornstarch, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Bake for 15 minutes, then toss and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until crispy.
  2. In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion with a pinch of salt and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, diced Fresno pepper, and sliced scallions; sauté for another 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in water and add dried shiitake mushrooms. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Dissolve miso paste in 1 cup of warm water with sesame oil in a separate bowl until blended.
  5. After simmering, remove mushrooms and blend the broth until creamy. Stir in the miso mixture, along with lemon zest and juice to enhance flavors.
  6. In individual bowls, layer cooked rice, pour miso broth, top with crispy tofu, and garnish with sesame oil and sesame seeds.
