Asian-style Bok Choy & Tofu Soup
  1. Heat 2 tsp neutral oil or sesame oil in a pot on medium heat.

  2. Add 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, 1 tbsp julienned ginger, and 2 tbsp chopped spring onion whites. Sauté gently for 30–40 seconds till fragrant, not browned.

  3. Add 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 2 tsp vegetarian oyster or mushroom sauce, and 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice. Stir for a few seconds to bloom the flavours.

  4. Pour in 2½ cups (600 ml) vegetable stock or water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–6 minutes.

  5. Season with white pepper and salt to taste.

  6. Add 150 g bok choy, halved or quartered (and ½ cup sliced mushrooms if using). Simmer 2–3 minutes till just tender but still bright.

  7. Gently slide in 150 g tofu, cut into thin strips. Let it warm through for 1–2 minutes without stirring too much.

  8. Turn off the heat. Ladle into bowls, top with 2 tbsp chopped spring onion greens, and finish with a few drops of sesame oil or chilli oil.
