Methods/steps
- To make the serving sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sherry vinegar, jalapeno pepper slices, 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
- Combine the diluted Fond de Poulet Gold® and Glace de Viande Gold® in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and stir in the noodles. Cook for 4-5 minutes, add the vegetables and edamame, and simmer another 5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp tender and the noodles are al dente.
- Add the tofu, remaining 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, and green onions and season to taste with salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the soup is warmed through. Serve in warmed bowls garnished with the cilantro, mint, bean sprouts, and a spoonful of the serving sauce.
