How to make it

Step 1—

Press tofu between paper towels for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2—

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Season with salt and set aside.

Step 3—

Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4—

Add bok choy and carrots to the broth and simmer for 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper.

Step 5—

In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 6—

Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks. Transfer to ice water, then peel carefully.

Step 7—

Divide cooked noodles between two bowls. Ladle hot broth with vegetables over noodles.

Step 8—

Top each bowl with crispy tofu cubes, one halved soft-boiled egg, and a drizzle of chili crisp oil. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
