Ingredients

How to make it

  • Soak the shiitake mushrooms in warm water for 30 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, soak the dried lily buds in warm water also for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the cucumber, garlic and cabbage in a food processor and process to a smooth paste.
  • Scrape the mixture into a large pan and add the measured boiling water.
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Strain this stock into another pan, return to a low heat and bring to simmering point.
  • Drain the lily buds, rinse under cold running water, then drain again. Cut off any hard ends.
  • Add the lily buds to the stock with the noodles, soy sauce and sugar and cook for 5 minutes more.
  • Strain the mushroom soaking liquid into the soup.
  • Discard the mushroom stems, then slice the caps.
  • Divide them and the tofu among four bowls. Pour the soup over, garnish and serve.
  • As I am not in to the veggie thing the whole way.. the 2nd time I made it .. I used 1 can of chicken stock for some of the water..
