Vegetarian Mì Quảng

Today is the first day of the lunar month, and since I had some suitable ingredients at home, I decided to make vegetarian Mì Quảng for the first time ever!
I usually cook by feel rather than following a strict recipe. This vegetarian Mì Quảng was the same—I just imagined the flavors I wanted (like in Quang Nam or Da Nang) and cooked it, since I’ve never actually had vegetarian Mì Quảng at a restaurant before. After eating, my whole family was happy and said, “It really tastes like Mì Quảng!” So that’s a win!

Steps
- 1
I bought this vegetarian meat substitute at a Japanese supermarket. One package (about 55,000 VND) is enough for 3 bowls.
Slice the tofu thinly and pan-fry until golden. - 2
Marinate the vegetarian meat, fried tofu, and yuba:
Mix 1 tablespoon mushroom seasoning, 1 cube fermented tofu (chao) mashed with 1 tablespoon chao liquid, and finely chopped white part of leek. Add 1 tablespoon annatto oil and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder for color. - 3
Slice half the carrot thinly.
Cut the remaining half (the thicker part) in half lengthwise, cut the loofah (or zucchini) into large chunks, and leave the onion whole.
I used reishi mushrooms, but after tasting, I think thinly sliced king oyster mushrooms absorb the flavors better and suit Mì Quảng more. - 4
Add 1 tablespoon oil to a pot, crush 5 shallots and sauté until fragrant. If you don’t have shallots, use finely chopped white part of leek. But shallots give the authentic Mì Quảng aroma.
Add the mushrooms, vegetarian meat, yuba, and fried tofu (all marinated) to the pot. Gently stir and simmer on low heat for a few minutes, then transfer to a bowl.

Add 3 cups water (about 700 ml) to the pot. Add the onion, loofah (or zucchini), carrot, and any leftover white leek. Season with 2 tablespoons mushroom seasoning and 1 teaspoon rock sugar. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the vegetables release their sweetness and the broth reduces by half.
Once done, remove all the vegetables and discard them. Add 1 tablespoon Hội An-style chili sauce to the broth.

To serve:
Place noodles and fresh herbs in a bowl. Arrange the simmered ingredients on top: mushrooms, vegetarian meat, fried tofu, yuba, and sliced carrot. You can add boiled eggs if you’re not following a strict vegetarian diet. Today I didn’t have banana blossom or baby mustard greens, so I just used what I had.Ladle a small amount of broth over each bowl (about one ladle per bowl). Sprinkle with roasted peanuts (crushed or whole) and chopped green leek. Add more Hội An chili sauce if you like.
Serve with grilled rice paper, lime, and chili. Enjoy your vegetarian meal!
