Method
Pat the tofu slices dry and pan-fry in a little oil until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes, then set aside.
Heat a little oil in a large saucepan and fry the garlic and five-spice powder for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the king oyster mushroom slices and sear for 4 minutes until browned at the edges.
Pour in the vegetable stock, dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir the cornflour slurry into the simmering broth and cook for 2 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Blanch the noodles in a separate pan of boiling water for 2 minutes until just tender, then drain and divide between bowls.
Ladle the thickened gravy, mushrooms and pan-fried tofu over the noodles, top with crispy fried shallots, and drizzle with rice vinegar to serve.
