Ingredients

  • Cooking spray

  • 1 in. fresh ginger, sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 c. low-sodium vegetable stock

Directions

  1. Spray a medium saucepan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Saute the mushrooms until browned and fragrant, about 6 min. Add the ginger, cinnamon, stock and soy sauce to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 min. to allow the full aroma of the mushrooms, ginger and cinnamon to flavor the broth.
  2. Gently lower the tofu into the broth, and simmer gently until the tofu is warmed through, about 5 min. Place the brown rice onto two plates and lay the tofu slices over the top. Garnish generously with the scallions. Scoop the mushrooms from the broth and place around the tofu. Spoon the broth over the dish and serve. You may keep the ginger slices and cinnamon with the broth as a lovely garnish, but be advised that you won’t want to eat them—they’ll be a little too pungent and crunchy to nosh on.
