Crispy Tofu Noodle Soup
Planks of crispy tofu nestle up alongside rice noodles and ribbons of Swiss chard in a spiced vegetable broth that's spiked with ginger, garlic, tamari, and star anise. Think of it as a delicious, vegetable-rich dish that will warm you through to the core. Pro tip: Keep this tofu technique in your back pocket for other dishes. Soaking the planks in tamari—rather than just sprinkling the exterior with salt—seasons each bite.
