1 clove garlic

1/2 thumb ginger grated

2-3 green onions diced

place all the hydrating ingredients together and wait a few minutes for the tvp to soak in the liquid. 

meanwhile, in a saute pan add oil and then the onion, garlic, and ginger and saute a few minutes before adding in the gochujang, brown sugar, and green onions. 

mix well while sauteing then add in the seasoned hydrated tvp. 

saute the mixture for around 5 minutes or until the tvp is coated and hot. 


DASHI BROTH 

1 onion rough chopped 

3 white mushrooms rough chopped 

1 thumb ginger rough chopped 

4 cloves garlic rough chopped 

5 cups vegetarian broth - used consomme 

1 tbsp soy sauce 

1 tbsp white miso 

3 dried shitake mushrooms whole 

in a sauce pot, saute the onions, mushroom, ginger, and garlic until the onions are caramelizing and brown. 

add the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to get the good bits into the sauce. 

add the shitake mushrooms, miso, and soy sauce. 

simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes. 


option: add kombu seaweed into the broth pot but if you do you need to simmer for 1 hour


BOK CHOY: 

2 handfuls per person bok choy sliced in half or quarters 

1 clove garlic 

oil to saute

few drops sesame oil 

salt

bring water to boil in a pot and lightly blanch the bok choy.

strain the bok choy.

in a saute pan add some oil and garlic and lightly saute the garlic for a minute then add in the bok choy and saute for a few minutes. 

add the sesame oil to taste ( I just use a few drops) and salt. 

ready to serve once heated. 


BOWLS
to put it all together, cook your desired noodles.

we used a thin Vietnamese egg noodle Safoco brand Mi Trung Cao Cap like these https://asianmart.com/products/safoco-egg-noodles-thin-17-6oz-500g

in bowls large enough to hold the noodles, broth, and toppings, add the noodles and broth, then top with the gochujang tvp, bok choy, and broccoli. 

option sprinkle fresh green onions and sesame seeds on top.


i bought the large TVP/ textured vegetable protein on amazon
