Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 100 grams shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 small heads baby bok choy, chopped
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the sliced mushrooms, julienned carrot, and red bell pepper to the pot. Let simmer for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender but still have a crisp bite.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the soup to thicken it slightly.
Add the chopped bok choy to the pot and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until wilted.
Divide the cooked rice noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot and sour soup over the noodles.
Garnish each bowl with sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, and a wedge of lime for squeezing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
