Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice noodles

Bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 2 cups [4 cups] cooking water. Rinse the noodles with cold water, transfer to a medium bowl, and cover to keep warm. Wipe the pot dry.
Meanwhile, cook the tofu and kale.

2

Prep and cook the tofu

  • Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the kale and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, prepare the garnishes and start the broth.

3

Prep the garnishes

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut half the cucumber into matchsticks. Save the remaining half for another use. [Cut 1 cucumber into matchsticks; save the remaining cucumber for another use.]
  • Cut the lime into wedges.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.

4

Make the broth; finish the dish

In the same pot used for the noodles, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the lemongrass paste and up to half the sambal oelek and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute (set aside the remaining sambal oelek for serving). Add the coconut milk and reserved noodle cooking water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the tofu, kale, and noodles and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the broth, tofu, kale, and noodles to individual bowls. Garnish with the cucumber, cilantro, and as much of the remaining sambal oelek as you like. Serve with the lime wedges.
