the inspiration behind this bok choy noodle soup

i looooooove pho and since i've startng doing mostly Pegan food in my life, i needed to figure out how to recreate an asian-y, broth-y, ginger-y, garlick-y noodle soup at home, asap. It's not that pho isn't "healthy" - it definitely is - but a girl can't always be dining out.

This soup is super customizable and flexible, too. You can make it with vegetable broth + tofu + any time of noodle = vegan; chicken broth + chicken + shirataki noodles = Whole30; beef broth + any type of noodle = flexitarian.

And - one last thing - I've said this before, but if you're doing whole30 and are looking for some noodles in your life, you have to try these shirataki noodles.

how to make this bok choy shirataki noodle soup

first you're going to start with the backbone of this boy choy noodle soup - the broth. you can use any type of broth you want. Veggie broth, dashi, chicken broth, beef broth - YOUR CHOICE!

next, saute your asian-y aromatics - the garlic, shallot, and green onion until it smells super good. then add in ginger. throw in the broth and a tablespoon of soy sauce or coconut aminos, and let it come to a boil - covered. add in mushrooms too, if you like.

meanwhile, clean and chop your bok choy, protein of choice, and shirataki noodles.

right before you want to eat, throw in the bok choy, tofu/chicken, and shirataki noodles. top with chili oil if that's your jam.

AND THAT'S IT! I feel like most pho-y soups take hours to come together. Not this guy. He's ready for you in about 20 minutes. Yeah. Get it
