Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • ½ tablespoon canola or vegetable oil (or 3 tablespoons water)
  • ½ cup diced red, white, or yellow onion (about ½ medium onion)
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup grated or finely chopped ginger
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled and halved

Broth and Flavorings

  • 5 cups water and 2 ½ vegetable bouillon cubes (or 5 cups vegetable broth)
  • 4–5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on sourness preference)
  • ⅓ cup hot sauce

Protein and Noodles

  • 1 (14-ounce) block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 (8-ounce) package rice noodles

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil or Water: In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil or water to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
  2. Sauté Vegetables and Aromatics: Add diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, grated ginger, and halved garlic cloves to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes tender and translucent, releasing the flavors.
  3. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the water combined with bouillon cubes or the vegetable broth. Stir in the lemon juice, tofu cubes, and hot sauce to infuse the soup with tangy, spicy, and savory notes.
  4. Cook Noodles: Add the rice noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3 to 5 minutes, until softened but still tender. Stir gently to prevent noodles from sticking.

Notes

  • You can substitute oil with water for a lower-fat version.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice and hot sauce to suit your taste preferences for sourness and spiciness.
  • Pressing the tofu removes excess moisture and helps it absorb more flavor.
  • Use gluten-free rice noodles to keep this recipe gluten-free.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on stovetop.
