3 stalks Fresh Lemongrass (10-12 Inches Long)
1/2 bunches Cilantro, Rinsed
1/2 cups Chopped Green Onions (Including Tops)
6 slices Peeled Fresh Ginger (About Quarter-Sized Each)
3 Fresh Red Thai Chilies, Rinsed, Stemmed, Seeded, And Quartered

1/4 teaspoons Ground Pepper
5 cups Low Sodium Vegetable Broth
4 ounces, weight Thin Rice Noodles
7 ounces, weight Firm Tofu, Cubed

1
A note on the chilies: If you (or someone you're feeding this to) can't handle spicy food, I recommend cutting the chilies down to 1 or skipping them altogether. You can serve sriracha sauce alongside the soup for those who do like more heat.
2
First, prepare the broth. Rinse the lemongrass and cut off and discard tough tops and root ends. Peel off and discard the coarse outer leaves. With the flat side of a knife, crush the inner lemongrass stalk. Chop cilantro leaves and set aside for garnish. Reserve the cilantro stems-these are what you will use in the broth.
3
In a soup pot, combine the crushed lemongrass, cilantro stems, 1/4 cup green onions, ginger, chilies, garlic cloves, ground pepper and vegetable broth. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Then pour broth through a strainer over a large bowl and discard the solids.
4
Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Divide noodles between two to three soup bowls. Top with tofu and 1 baby bok choy per bowl. Ladle broth over noodles. Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and remaining 1/4 cup green onions.

Enjoy!
