HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT:

INGREDIENTS:

8 cups of vegetable broth

½ of a sweet onion, sliced finely

1 full head of garlic – about 12 cloves

8 large slices of ginger

1 medium carrot, sliced

20 slices of daikon radish – about a medium sized daikon radish

1 bunch of enoki mushrooms

4 bunches of baby bak choy

6 dried shitake mushrooms

20 cubed pieces of butternut squash

3 tablespoons of mushroom seasoning – Po Lu Ku Brand

Dash of salt

Sliced green onion to garnish

Pad Thai Noodles

Mung Bean Glass Noodles

In a pot, heat up the vegetable broth, garlic, ginger, sweet onion and carrot. Let this simmer on medium heat for 30min until carrot, sweet onion and garlic are tender.

Add in the daikon radish and shitake mushrooms and simmer for 15 mins.

Then add in the butternut squash and simmer for another 15 mins.

Once daikon radish and butternut squash are tender, season the soup with mushroom seasoning and a dash of salt. Then, add in the enoki mushrooms and baby bak choy and simmer on low heat for another 10 mins until they are cooked.

In 2 separate pots with water, cook the pad thai noodles and mung bean glass noodles separately.

Once noodles are cooked, serve both with the vegetables and broth. Garnish with green onion. The combination of both kinds of noodles lends a lovely blend of textures to this dish.
