instructions
1. Put a kitchen towel (or a double layer of paper towel) down on a plate. Take the tofu out of the package, shake it of excess liquid and place it on the towel. Put another kitchen towel (or layer of paper towel) on top of the tofu. Place a heavy lid or pan on the tofu to weigh it down and squeeze out the liquid. Press the tofu for 20 minutes.
2. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Prep the green onions.
3. Combine the broth and miso paste in a medium saucepan, and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the tofu and soybeans, and gently simmer until they're heated through, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the green onions and red pepper flakes, and serve.
