Recipe courtesy EatingWell.com

Ingredients
5 1/4 cups vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 1/4-inch-thick slices fresh ginger, peeled
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 3/4 cups shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, wiped clean and sliced (4 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 small bok choy, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, stems and greens separated
3 1/2 ounces Chinese wheat noodles or rice sticks (see Ingredient note)
1 14-ounce package firm tofu, drained, patted dry and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup grated carrots (2 large)
4-6 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup chopped scallions for garnish

Directions
Combine broth, ginger and garlic in a Dutch oven; bring to a simmer.
Simmer, partially covered, over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Discard the ginger and garlic.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and crushed red
pepper; cook, stirring often, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bok choy stems; cook, stirring
often, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

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.

Ingredient note: Chinese wheat noodles and rice sticks (dried rice noodles) are quick-cooking and
can be found in the Asian-food section of your supermarket.
