Cookies are made of butter and love. |
| Norwegian Proverb |
“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

Bring 4 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Turn off heat and add
dried mushrooms. Cover and allow to soak about 20 minutes. Drain
mushroom soaking water into a large pot and add 4 cups of water. Turn
on heat to bring liquid to a boil. As liquid is heating, cut stems
off mushrooms and cut mushrooms into very thin slivers.
Cut tofu into very thin matchstick slivers and pour a little soy
sauce on top of them. When liquid comes to a boil, reduce heat to
medium, add slivered mushrooms and allow to simmer about 10 minutes.
Then add slivered tofu and simmer another 5 minutes. Add next 3
ingredients and, in a little cup, quickly dissolve arrowroot in the
cold water. Add to ingredients in pot and stir constantly till the
arrowroot thickens. (As the soup thickens, it will become clear
again. It should take only 20 to 30 seconds after liquid comes to a
boil for the arrowroot to thoroughly thicken.) Cover and turn off
heat. Add sesame oil. The soup should be served immediately, topped
with slivered green onions. Makes eight 1 cup servings.
