Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add tofu and cook until golden on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
While tofu cooks, thinly slice the ginger and garlic. Chop the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Slice the carrot thinly, chop bok choy, and slice the mushrooms.
In the same saucepan, heat remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer.
Add the sliced carrot and mushrooms to the broth and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the bok choy and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Return the tofu to the soup and allow it to heat through, about 2 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the green parts of the scallions. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious tofu and vegetable soup!
