This scrumptious one-pot recipe is packed to the brim with fresh ingredients to create a soupy noodle dish that’s similar to Vietnamese pho. A simple veggie broth is elevated with the addition of garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper to really turn up the slurpability of the vermicelli noodles. Umami-rich enoki mushrooms and earthy bok choy get delightfully tender in the warm broth, while nutrient-dense tofu and slightly sweet adzuki beans add heft to the delicate noodles. If you’re a fan of spicy food, add a drizzle of sriracha just before serving and enjoy!

(5 from 3 votes)Hi, I’ve not made this recipe yet: I’m not sure that it won’t spike my blood sugar due to the noodles, which are very carb heavy - fibre light.
It was good, we added oyster sauce and a little toasted sesame oil, to each bowl after we tasted it for a little more depth.
Very tasty! With all the chopping it took me longer than 30 min. But it was worth it:) Thank you!
Prepping always takes about twice or three times as long as a recipe declares. It takes me at least 20 minutes to gather ingredients and then the measuring, chopping, washing, etc. begins.
This recipe was delicious and easy to make. I substituted small red beans in place of adzuki. I plan to make this dish often.
