Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and then dice it into small cubes.
Slice the shiitake mushrooms and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the spring onions finely.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the Mee Pok noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the diced tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of sesame oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are browned and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and half of the spring onions, sautéing for another minute until the garlic is aromatic.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pan, bringing it to a simmer. Add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the chili paste to the broth for heat and mix thoroughly.
Place the Mee Pok noodles into serving bowls. Pour the cooked broth with mushrooms over the noodles.
Top each bowl with the crispy tofu, remaining spring onions, and bean sprouts.
Serve with a wedge of lime on the side for added freshness and zest.
