Cover and simmer while you prepare vegetables and noodles.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet or flat-bottom wok over high heat.

Add bok choy and shiitakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 8 minutes.

Cook noodles in the boiling water according to package directions.

Drain and divide among 4 serving bowls.

Top with the vegetables and tofu and ladle on the hot broth.

Top with scallion greens and garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Opt for the low-sodium version to save 380 mg per serving.
