1

Start cooking your protein

  • Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
  • Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Chicken strips: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Chicken breasts: Pat the meat dry with a paper towel; cut into 1-inch strips. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Shrimp or scallops: Rinse and drain the shrimp or scallops. 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 cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. While your protein is cooking, start the soup.

Cook the lemongrass soup

  • Trim the root end from the bok choy; cut the bok choy in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1-inch-wide pieces.

To the pot with your protein, add the mixed vegetables, lemongrass soup base, bok choy, 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 plant-based chicken, tofu, jumbo shrimp, 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.
