  • 2 tablespoon Oil
  • 2 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1.25 litres Stock Chicken or Vegetable stock depending on your dietary requirements.
  • 1 tablespoon Fish sauce Optional
  • 400 ml Coconut milk
  • 1 lime
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 190 g Dried noodles

Method
 

To make the broth:
  1. Chop the shallot and place in a mortar and pestle (or mini chopper). Peel and chop the ginger and garlic, adding them to the shallot. Add the chill and blend ingredients to create a paste.
  2. Add the lemongrass and mix well.
  3. Heat the pan on a medium heat and add the oil. Once your oil is hot turn to a low heat and add your paste. Cook these ingredients through (until the raw smell has gone away), around 5 mins.
  4. Add the turmeric mix well and cook for a minute.
  5. Add your stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce to simmer for 45 minutes
The fillings:
  1. Prepare your bok choy by cutting off the root end and wash well.
  2. Cut your tufo to cubes (around 2 cm).
  3. Wash and prepare the coriander, chilli, spring onions and microgreens (if using)
  4. Prepare noodles, according to the packet.
Putting your bowl together:
  1. Once the broth has simmered for 45 mins, season with the fish sauce (if using if not use salt) to taste. Add the coconut milk, tofu, edamame and bok choy to warm through, this will take around 5 minutes.
  2. Portion the noodles into 4 bowls, pour the broth over and share the fillings into each bowl.
  3. Add the garnish, chopped coriander, chilli, spring onions and microgreens to each bowl and enjoy!
