- Tear the shimeji mushrooms into small clumps.

- After bringing the sauce to a boil, add the entire block of tofu and break it up into random chunks with a pair of cooking chopsticks.
- Add the shimeji mushrooms as well.
- Cover and boil.
- After it has cooked through (about 5 minutes), turn off the heat momentarily.
- While stirring, add the katakuriko dissolved in water, and turn the heat back on to thicken.
- Variation: Add glass noodles that have been rehydrated but are still firm.
- They'll soak up the broth and be delicious!
