Ingredients
  

SOUP:

  • 400 g konjac noodles
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 inch fresh ginger
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon wakame fronds
  • 2 teaspoons tamari
  • 2 teaspoons brown rice vinegar

  • Few tablespoons of sorghum flour
  • Coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Rinse and drain the konjac noodles, then cover in boiling water and let sit for a minute. Drain and set aside.
  • Prep the vegetables: remove the tough stalks and finely slice the shiitake, finely mince the shallot and ginger, peel and finely slice the garlic, remove base of the boy choy and rinse.
  • Heat a blob of coconut oil in a large pot then fry shallot till golden. Add mushrooms, ginger, garlic, wakame, tamari, vinegar, 2 cups stock and one cup water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook, covered, for up to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, press tofu between a paper towel to remove excess liquid, then coat in sorghum flour. Heat a few teaspoons (or more) of coconut oil in a fry pan, and fry till golden.
