Fresh Tofu and Mixed Mushrooms Soup Noodles

(serves 4)
Everything is so fresh in HK, fresh shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, fresh tofu (it was still warm when i got it in my hand!) and delicious green vegetables that are just so much sweeter than what you get in Australia! After several days of eating out, it was time for a bit of a healthy cleansing of the palate with this simple noodle soup! Also, good for my diabetic grandma after all the feasting on lobster in cheese sauce and prawns.. although i always forget that eating way too much of healthy thing is still not the best!
