Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a wok, begin by heating a tablespoon of oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Sauté the Spinach: Add the chopped fresh spinach to the hot oil and sauté until the leaves are soft and wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Water and Seasoning: Incorporate the salt and pour in 2 to 3 cups of water along with the vegetable bouillon cubes. Stir to dissolve the cubes and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer the Soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer gently for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add Tofu and Soya Sauce: Gently stir in the cubed tofu and the soya sauce. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat, drizzle with sesame oil, and season with black pepper to taste. Serve the soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of additional black pepper if desired.
