Instructions

Chop tofu into cubes and set aside.
In a large pot combine broth, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and crushed red pepper flakes and bring to a boil. Stir in tofu, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots and reduce heat to medium-low.
Stir together cold water and corn starch until dissolved. Pour into pot and stir until soup thickens. Cook 5-10 minutes longer. Garnish with dried cilantro or chives and serve immediately.

Notes

Increase the heat level by adding more crushed red pepper flakes.
