Ingredients

Organize the ingredients – sesame oil, scallions, shiitakes, bok choy, broth, gluten free soy sauce, cooked rice vermicelli noodles, cooked jammy eggs, and black sesame seeds (optional).

Preparing the Rice Vermicelli Noodles

Place rice vericelli noodles into a pot of boiling water over medium high heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until noodles are soft.

Add noodles to a large pot of boiling water on medium high. Cook for 5 minutes (or until soft), drain, rinse and set aside until ready to serve the soup. (Tip: To avoid the soup from getting starchy, do NOT combine the noodles with the broth!)

Making the Soup Base

Heat neutral oil in a pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms and scallions and season with kosher salt.

Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until mushrooms are slightly browned.

Simmer for 2-3 minutes and then cover until ready to serve.

Notes

Cubes of silken tofu would be a delicious addition.

If you don’t like jammy eggs, omit them from the recipe.

Any type of mushroom can be used in this recipe.

Bok choy can sometimes be difficult to find. Spinach or Napa cabbage are good substitutes.

If you have extra noodles, store them in a separate container from the broth to avoid the soup from getting starchy.
