Directions
Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes.
Transfer to a colander and run under cold water to cool slightly. Drain well.
In a medium bowl, mix the chicken broth, oyster sauce, vinegar, and 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil.
Heat the ginger and canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the ginger sizzles steadily for about 30 seconds.
Add the bok choy and mushrooms, sprinkle with the remaining 2½ teaspoons sesame oil and ¾ teaspoon of salt and cook, tossing after 1 minute, until the bok choy turns dark green and begins to soften, 8 minutes.
Add the chicken broth mixture, tofu, and carrots and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the carrots are soft and the tofu is heated through, about 7 minutes.
Divide the noodles evenly among 4 bowls. Spoon the vegetables, tofu, and broth over the noodles. Sprinkle with the scallions and cilantro leaves.
Serve warm.
