Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the vegetables
- Scrub or peel the carrots and trim the ends; cut the carrots on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms.
- Trim the root end from the bok choy; cut the bok choy in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch-wide pieces.
2
Prep and start cooking your protein
- Diced chicken: Pat dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Tofu: Pat dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Chicken breasts: Pat dry with a paper towel; cut into 1-inch strips. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Shrimp and scallops: Rinse and drain, then pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until both are lightly browned but your protein is not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Cook the lemongrass soup
To the pot with your protein and the mushrooms, add the carrots, bok choy, lemongrass soup base, and 2 cups [4 cups] water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bok choy is tender and your protein is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes for regular shrimp; 2 to 3 minutes for tofu, jumbo shrimp, or scallops; and 4 to 5 minutes for chicken. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the lemongrass soup to individual bowls and serve the sambal oelek on the side if desired.
