This meal is delicious with the following changes. I added 1 heaping tbsp of miso to the broth (I used the no-allergen vegetable broth from SOS cuisine), and I sprinkled soy sauce and sesame oil on my tofu along with the spices. I used Madras curry and a good pinch of another, way more potent indian curry spice. Then, a few drops of soy sauce in the final dish as it was still not salted enough. The reslt was fantastic. To add more vegetables, next time I’ll put in broccoli florets, Shiitake mushrooms, and some wakame.
