Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup firm tofu, cubed
- 2 heads baby bok choy, halved
- 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper or black pepper
- 2 cups optional cooked noodles (e.g., udon or soba)
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon optional chili oil or red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, sautéing for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and 1 cup of water. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
Add the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the pot. Stir to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for 2–3 minutes.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and cubed tofu to the simmering soup. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Gently place the halved baby bok choy into the soup and cook for another 3 minutes until wilted but still vibrant green.
Season the soup with white pepper or black pepper to taste. Adjust the soy sauce levels if needed for saltiness.
If you would like to include noodles, divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls at this stage.
Ladle the hot soup over the noodles (if using) and garnish each bowl with thinly sliced scallions and a drizzle of chili oil or a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory Chiang Yu T’ang Soy Sauce Soup!
