Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
-
In the same pot, add the smashed lemongrass, minced garlic, and sliced ginger. Sauté for a few minutes until fragrant.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Stir in the tamarind paste, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more soy sauce or sugar if desired.
-
Add the rice noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually 4-6 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Once the noodles are cooked, return the tofu to the pot. Add the bean sprouts and jalapeño slices. Let them cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bean sprouts are slightly tender.
-
Remove the smashed lemongrass stalks from the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
-
Serve the Tofu and Tamarind Noodle Soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup.
