Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1 block silken tofu into 4 equal pieces. Slice the 2 baby bok choy in half lengthwise. Thinly slice the 2 green onions, separating white and green parts.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium pot, bring 2 cups vegetable broth and 2 tbsp soy sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the tofu pieces and bok choy, cover, and cook until bok choy is bright green and tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Crack the 2 eggs into the simmering broth, spacing them apart. Cover and poach until whites are set but yolks are still soft, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Ladle the broth, tofu, bok choy, and eggs into bowls. Sprinkle with the sliced green onions and serve hot.
