Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat cooking oil in a claypot or deep pot over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add sliced shiitake mushrooms and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.

3. 3

   Pour in mushroom broth, vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Gently add tofu cubes to the simmering sauce. Cover and braise for 10-15 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.

5. 5

   Add the soaked and drained glass noodles to the claypot. Stir gently to mix. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.

6. 6

   Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
