Method
 

  1. In a medium pot, heat 4 cups of chicken broth over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer, around 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, chopped green onions (reserve some for garnish), minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce.
  2. Once the broth is bubbling, add the white parts of the chopped napa cabbage and any mushrooms you wish to include. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Gently fold in the green parts of the napa cabbage and cubed soft tofu into the pot. Continue cooking for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder or a pinch of salt, along with white pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors, then remove from heat.
  5. Drizzle in a teaspoon of sesame oil for a nutty finish.
