A light and refreshing soup made by simmering delicate tofu, crisp bok choy, and mushrooms in a clear and savory Chinese-style broth base.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not boil bok choy from the beginning—overcooking causes it to turn yellow and lose its crisp texture. Always add it at the very end and cook only briefly.
  • Skimming off the foam as the soup boils is essential to achieve a clear, clean appearance and authentic Chinese-style flavor.
  • The root end of bok choy is rich in nutrients—avoid discarding it; instead, slice it vertically and use it whole.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a mild, refreshing, and smooth soup for breakfast.
  • People who want to enjoy a light, delicate Chinese-style broth using minimal ingredients and time.
