Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon canola or vegetable oil (or 3 tablespoons water)
- ½ cup diced red, white, or yellow onion (about ½ medium onion)
- 2 carrots thinly sliced
- 2 ribs celery thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup grated or finely chopped ginger
- 8 cloves garlic peeled and halved
- 5 cups water and 2 ½ vegetable bouillon cubes or 5 cups vegetable broth
- 4-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on your sourness preference)
- 1 (14-ounce) block extra-firm tofu pressed and cut into ½-inch cubes
- ⅓ cup hot sauce
- 1 (8-ounce) package rice noodles
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil (or water).
- Add the onion, carrots, celery, ginger, and garlic and cook for 10 minutes or until the onion is tender and translucent.
- Add the water and bouillon cubes (or broth), lemon juice, tofu, and hot sauce.
- Add the noodles and cook for the amount of time suggested on the package.

Notes
- For an oil-free version: Use ¼ cup veg broth, but note the tofu won’t become as crispy.
- For extra flavor: Lightly broil the ginger & garlic until lightly charred before adding them to the soup. This adds depth to the healing broth.
- The easiest way to peel ginger: Use a spoon to scrape the ginger skin away– it’s surprisingly quick and simple!
- Leave to rest: Ginger garlic noodle soup tastes even better on day two.
