1. 1
   Fill a large stockpot with the water, and add the apple, pear, carrot, kohlrabi, onion, rock sugar, and 2 to 3 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until the fruits and vegetables are tender (about 30 minutes).
2. 2
   Heat the shallots and ginger slices directly over an open flame on the stove until slightly charred on all sides. Toast the star anise, cinnamon sticks, and cardamom pods in a small skillet over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant.
3. 3
   Peel the shallots, and then rinse with the ginger under warm running water. Scrape off all charred bits and place in large tea bags or wrap securely in cheesecloth with star anise, cinnamon sticks, and black cardamom. Add to stockpot, and then season broth with salt and stock powder.
4. 4
   In a small skillet, heat ¼ cup of the oil over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides (10 to 15 minutes). Transfer the tofu to a cooling rack or paper towel–lined plate to drain. Once cool, cut the fried tofu and soaked bean curd into bite-size pieces.
5. 5
   Combine the fried tofu and bean curd slices in a large bowl and season with ½ teaspoon of the salt, ½ tablespoon of the granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of the stock powder, ½ teaspoon of the five-spice powder, and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce.
6. 6
   In a separate large bowl, combine the mushrooms and season with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt, ½ tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon stock powder, ½ teaspoon five-spice powder, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
7. 7
   Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When hot, add half of the minced leek, and cook and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the tofu–bean curd mixture and cook and stir until seasonings are well absorbed (about 3 minutes). Transfer to a clean bowl.
8. 8
   Return skillet to medium-low heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add remaining leek and cook and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add mushroom mixture and cook and stir until soft and seasonings are well absorbed (about 3 minutes). Transfer to a separate clean bowl.
9. 9
   Follow the instructions on the package to cook the dried noodles.
