Method

  1. Slice the mushrooms, peel the ginger and cut it into thin matchsticks. Cut the tofu into 1.5 cm cubes and slice the spring onions.
  2. Bring 800 ml of water to the boil in a large pot. Add the ginger, mushrooms and chilli flakes and simmer for 10 minutes to make a broth.
  3. Put in the rice noodles and tofu and simmer for 4 minutes, or the time on the noodle packet, until the noodles are soft.
  4. Take the pot off the heat and stir in the soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  5. Taste the broth. It should be sharp, salty and warm with chilli. Add a little more soy sauce or vinegar if it needs it.
  6. Share between two bowls and scatter the spring onions on top.

Tip Add the vinegar and soy sauce in small amounts at the end. Brands vary a lot, and it is easy to overshoot.
