Total Time: 45 min
Prep Time: 30 min

Ingredients


5 1/4 cup(s) vegetable broth
4 slice(s) (1/4-inch thick) fresh ginger, peeled
2 clove(s) garlic, crushed and peeled
2 teaspoon(s) canola oil
1 3/4 cup(s) (4 ounces) shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, wiped clean and sliced
1/4 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 small (3/4 pound) bok choy, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, stems and greens separated
3 1/2 ounce(s) Chinese wheat noodles or rice sticks (see Tips & Techniques)
1 package(s) (14-ounce) firm tofu, drained, patted dry and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Add the mushroom mixture to the broth. Add noodles, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3 minutes. Add bok choy greens and tofu; simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in carrots, vinegar to taste, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Serve garnished with scallions.
