Method
- 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.
- 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.
- Put in the rice noodles and tofu and simmer for 4 minutes, or the time on the noodle packet, until the noodles are soft.
- Take the pot off the heat and stir in the soy sauce and rice vinegar.
- Taste the broth. It should be sharp, salty and warm with chilli. Add a little more soy sauce or vinegar if it needs it.
- 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.
