Tofu & greens broth

What you need

• ·260g firm tofu
• ·180g broccoli
• ·150g chestnut mushrooms
• ·80g baby spinach
• ·6g stock cubes
• ·15g soy sauce
• ·12g root ginger
• ·8g garlic
• ·5g red chillies

Method

1. 1Ginger sliced into coins and garlic crushed flat into a litre of stock, simmered 5 minutes and then left to sit. This is the whole flavour of the dish and it costs nothing.
2. 2Mushrooms in for 5 minutes, broccoli for 3.
3. 3Tofu cubed and lowered in for the last 2 minutes only — it is already cooked, and boiling it hard breaks it up.
4. 4Heat off, spinach in, soy and sliced chilli at the table so the soy doesn't cook out.
