Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ (16 ounce) package tofu
6 ounces fresh udon noodles
1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
1 serrano pepper, minced, or to taste
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
32 ounces vegetable broth
3 carrots, chopped
¼ cup chopped green onions
½ cup chopped bok choy
5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Wrap tofu in paper towels and place heavy books on top for 30 minutes to dry out tofu.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Chop pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn tofu and bake an additional 10 minutes until crispy.
  • While tofu bakes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water according to package directions, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook serrano pepper and ginger until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vegetable broth, carrots, green onions, bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, sesame oil, soy sauce, and baked tofu. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cooked udon noodles and simmer 5 more minutes.

TOFU VEGETABLE SOUP WITH BEAN THREAD NOODLES



Tofu Vegetable Soup with Bean Thread Noodles image

This Asian-style soup is ideal when you're in a hurry. It can be on the table in about twenty minutes.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3- to 4-ounce package bean thread (cellophane) noodles
One 32-ounce carton low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup snow peas, cut in half
1/2 medium red or orange bell pepper, cut into thin strips
4 to 6 ounces baby spinach or arugula
One 16-ounce tub firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 teaspoons minced fresh or jarred ginger
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a heatproof container, combine the noodles with enough boiling water to cover. Let stand, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until al dente. Drain well, then place on a cutting board and chop in several directions to shorten the noodles.
  • Meanwhile, combine the broth with 2 cups water in a soup pot. Bring to a simmer, then add the snow peas, bell pepper, spinach, tofu, ginger, and sesame oil. Cook briefly, just until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the noodles, and season with soy sauce and pepper to taste. Serve at once.
  • This pairs nicely with Bok Choy, Edamame, Cashew, and Orange Rice (page 83). A platter of sliced bell peppers, daikon radish or turnip, and grape tomatoes or sliced tomatoes completes the meal.
  • For a lighter meal, serve with store-bought vegan spring rolls and Bok Choy, Red Cabbage, and Carrot Salad (page 176).

Tips:

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu for a soup that holds its shape and doesn't fall apart.
  • Press the tofu before using to remove excess water. This will help the tofu absorb the flavors of the soup.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and color to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and bok choy.
  • Add the vegetables to the soup in stages, starting with the harder vegetables like carrots and celery. This will ensure that all the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Use a light touch when stirring the soup to avoid breaking up the tofu.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of sesame oil.
