- Add the soy sauce, sugar and mush-room water. Stir to mix, scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any cooked-on bits and avoid the BURN warning.
- Add the tofu skin and mung bean noodles and mix everything together. Make sure the noodles are covered. Lock the lid. Select PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL and set the pressure to HIGH for 2 minutes. Make sure the steam release valve is sealed. Once pressurized (8 to 10 minutes), the cook cycle will start. When the timer beeps, manually release the pressure. When the float valve drops, press CANCEL and open the lid.
- Add the sesame oil and remaining green onions. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce reduces a little. There should be some sauce left, and it will thicken on standing. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
Notes
NOTES: White miso or shiro miso is made from soybeans that have been fermented with a large percentage of rice. The actual resulting color can range from white to light beige, and the miso has a definite sweet taste. Use more soy sauce or salt if you prefer not to use it. , Other than Chinese cabbage, bok choy, chrysanthemum greens or other leafy Chinese greens would be great in this dish. Snow peas too! , If you can’t find dried tofu sheets, use more firm tofu or tofu puffs. , *HOW TO PREPARE DRIED MUSHROOMS , Rinse then soak the mushrooms in warm water for at least 30 minutes. If you can plan ahead, soak them for 8 hours or more. When the caps are tender, pluck them out and squeeze out the excess water with your hands. Save the soaking water to use in your recipe.
