Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grate the tofu, season it with tamari, cornstarch, and sesame seeds, then spread on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Toss and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until crispy.
  2. In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes until golden. Stir in garlic, ginger, and Fresno pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in 3.5 cups of water and add dried shiitake mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  4. Mix miso paste with 1 cup warm water in a small bowl until dissolved. Remove mushroom pieces, stir in the miso mixture, lemon zest, and juice into the pot on low heat.
  5. Use an immersion blender to lightly blend the soup for a smooth texture if desired. Serve in bowls, topped with rice and crispy tofu.
