Great Big Wok Full of Asian Noodle Soup
Ingredients
Instructions
1. Heat a large wok over a medium heat , and add the ingredients listed as "For the soup." Bring to a simmer and let it bubble for a couple of minutes. Taste for seasonings and adjust to your taste (it should be dark and rich without being overly salty).
2. Add the firm vegetables. Cover the wok and let them simmer for a minute or so.
3. Next add the tender vegetables, pasta, and tofu. Give it all a good stir, let it bubble and cover the wok. Let it cook for about five minutes.
4. Taste for seasonings, and adjust as necessary. When you're happy with the results, finish it with a bit of cold-pressed sesame seed oil.
5. Spoon it into large soup bowls and remember, it's perfectly acceptable to make slurping sounds when you eat a noodle bowl! What's *not* cool, however, is to cut up the noodles or to break them in half with your teeth since that's considered to be bad luck in the Chinese culture.
