Dash of hot sauce
Hoisin sauce, Sriracha (optional)
Directions
To prepare the broth
1. Caramelize the onion and ginger by quickly sautéing.
2. In a large pot, dry roast the cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and coriander over medium-low heat, stirring to prevent burning. When the spices are aromatic, add the vegetable stock, soy sauce, carrots, and charred onion and ginger.
To prepare the noodles
3. While the broth is simmering, place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Let stand for 20-30 minutes or until tender but still chewy. Drain. (If soaking does not soften the noodles enough, blanch them in a pot of boiling water for a few seconds.)
Add the toppings (optional)
4. While the broth is simmering, prepare the toppings as desired: slice and cook the tofu, lightly steam or blanch the vegetables, etc. Toppings should be unseasoned or only lightly seasoned so as not to interfere with the flavor of the broth.
Serve
5. Divide the noodles between two bowls. Arrange the toppings over noodles. Ladle about 2 cups of broth into each bowl. Serve with garnishes on the side, which diners should add to taste.)
