Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
3 ears corn, shucked and snapped in half
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms
1 bunch scallions (about 8)
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
1 pound silken tofu
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
2 teaspoons sambal oelek, plus more for serving (optional)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, plus more for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a pot, bring broth and 2 cups water to a boil. Meanwhile, slice corn from cobs and set aside; add cobs to pot. Remove and discard shiitake stems; cut caps in half (into quarters, if large) and add to pot. Thinly slice scallions and add white and light-green parts to pot, reserving dark-green tops. Grate ginger directly into pot. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes.
  • Remove cobs from pot. Add corn kernels and tofu. Stir, breaking tofu into bite-size pieces; simmer 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, sambal oelek, and oil. Serve, with scallion tops, drizzled with more sambal oelek and oil.
