Step 1

In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, radish and mushrooms and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened. Add the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the miso, stirring until it is dissolved.
Step 2

Remove the soup from the heat. Add the scallions and tofu, and let the soup sit, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with the nori strips.
