Step 1
Put the mushrooms, 1 tbsp each of sake, mirin and soy, the garlic and ginger, and the halved red chilli in a large pan and top up with 2 litres of water. Simmer for 30 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the stock is fragrant. Add a little more mirin and soy sauce, to season, if you like. Strain the stock into a clean pan and bring to a gentle simmer again. Slice the mushrooms and discard the chilli, ginger and garlic. Blanch the greens and beansprouts then drain well.

Step 2
Cook the noodles in boiling salted water until tender, drain and add to 4 warmed soup bowls. Add the sliced mushrooms, greens, beansprouts and marinated tofu to the stock to heat through for a few minutes. Divide the tofu and veg between the bowls, and pour over the stock. Add a few dots of chilli oil, and scatter with spring onions and sliced chilli, to serve.
