Instructions

Mix the bouillon and water in a large pot and bring to boil. Add the soy sauce. Add the ginger and cabbage and cook until almost done. Add the meat, cook five minutes. Add the spinach and let wilt, don’t boil from this point on. Mix the miso with a little water and slowly stir into soup pot. Add cubed tofu. Serve with soy sauce and sesame oil.
