Method
Combine the vegan mince, grated ginger, chopped spring onion, aquafaba and panko breadcrumbs in a bowl and mix until sticky, then shape into small meatballs.
Prepare the tofu, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, carrots and king oyster mushroom, cutting each into bite-sized pieces.
Pour the kombu dashi into a large saucepan or table-top hot pot, add the soy sauce, mirin, sake and dark miso paste, and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the miso.
Drop the meatballs into the simmering broth and cook for 8 minutes until they float and are cooked through.
Add the king oyster mushroom slices and cook for 4 minutes.
Add the cabbage, carrots, shiitake mushrooms and tofu, and simmer for 8 minutes more until the vegetables are tender.
Ladle into bowls and scatter with the remaining sliced spring onion to serve.
