Tips
- The broth has a rich umami flavor from sauteing mushrooms then adding garlic, ginger, and shallots along with broth and coconut milk.
- Cook the noodles right in the pot because why make life hard.
- Toss crispy tofu with a splash of dark soy sauce and maple syrup after baking for extra depth.
- In the meantime, mix lime zest with sugar in a small bowl to release the citrus oils. Once noodles are cooked, add this mixture to the pot with an extra splash of tamari (about 1 teaspoon). Let everything mingle on low heat for 1-2 minutes.
