Spicy Lemongrass Tofu Coconut Broth

This aromatic variation elevates a simple vegetable broth with the zesty heat of fresh chilies and fragrant lemongrass. By adding protein-rich tofu and tender greens, this dish transforms into a hearty, creamy, and comforting main meal perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 stalks lemongrass, bruised and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red chili, thinly sliced (seeds removed for less heat)
4 cups vegetable stock
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the lemongrass, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced red chili. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Pour in the vegetable stock and coconut milk. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  5. 5

    Add the cubed tofu and baby bok choy to the pot. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the greens are tender and the tofu is heated through.

  6. 6

    Stir in the soy sauce and fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  7. 7

    Remove the hard lemongrass stalks before serving.

  8. 8

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with fresh cilantro.
