Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Wood Ear Mushrooms 2g
  • Sweet Potato Starch Noodles 30g
  • Komatsuna (Japanese Mustard Spinach) 50g
  • Napa Cabbage 100g
  • Enoki Mushrooms 50g
  • Shrimp Dumplings 2 pcs
  • Thinly Sliced Pork 40g
  • Fried Tofu Pouch 1 piece

Seasonings

  • [A] Unsweetened Soy Milk 150ml
  • [A] Chicken Stock Granules 1 tsp
  • [A] Miso Paste 2 tsp
  • [A] Doubanjiang (Spicy Bean Paste) 2 tsp
  • Five Spice Powder about 5 shakes
  • Sichuan Peppercorns about 5 shakes
  • Chili Oil (to taste)

Steps

  1. Rehydrate 2g Wood Ear Mushrooms by soaking them in water or lukewarm water.
  2. Trim 1cm off the root of 50g Komatsuna and cut into 3cm pieces. Separate the leaves from the stems.
  3. Roughly chop 100g Napa Cabbage into 3cm pieces.
  4. Trim the woody ends off 50g Enoki Mushrooms and separate them into small clusters.
  5. Cut 1 fried tofu pouch into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a pot, combine 200ml water, 150ml unsweetened soy milk, 1 tsp chicken stock granules, 2 tsp miso paste, and 2 tsp doubanjiang. Stir well to dissolve.
  7. Heat over high heat until the edges of the pot start to bubble, just before boiling.
  8. Add 30g sweet potato starch noodles to the pot. (Key Tip: If the noodles have a short cooking time, cook the vegetables first, then add the noodles according to their cooking time.)
  9. Add the cut fried tofu pouch and the vegetables (Napa cabbage, enoki mushrooms, and komatsuna stems) except for the komatsuna leaves.
  10. Add the rehydrated wood ear mushrooms, 2 shrimp dumplings, and 40g thinly sliced pork, spreading them out in the pot.
  11. Cover with a lid and simmer over low to medium-low heat for 8 minutes, being careful not to let it boil vigorously.
  12. Add the komatsuna leaves, about 5 shakes of five spice powder, and about 5 shakes of Sichuan peppercorns. Stir everything together and heat briefly. (Key Tip: Komatsuna leaves cook very quickly, so add them last. Adjust the amount of five spice powder and Sichuan peppercorns to your spice preference.)
  13. Once the komatsuna leaves are cooked, turn off the heat.
  14. Ladle into a bowl and drizzle chili oil to taste over the entire dish. (Key Tip: If you don't like spicy food, you can substitute with sesame oil.)
