Ingredients
Directions
Before you start this recipe: Place the bay leaves, lime leaves, cinnamon, clove, coriander, fennel, and star anise in a sachet or cheesecloth (you may need a few layers to avoid spices escaping into the broth!) and tie with twine. Set aside.
Heat a large stovetop pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions and mushrooms, cooking until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, tofu and bok choy stems, cooking until the bok choy starts to become tender, about 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the spice sachet, coconut aminos, and maple, stirring again.
Add the water and bring to a boil then simmer, covering the pot for 50 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld. While the broth is cooking, cook your rice noodles according to package instructions, run under cold water and set aside.
Once the broth is done, remove the spice sachet.
Divide the noodles and bok choy leaves between two large soup bowls.
Pour the broth over top of each bowl.
Top veggie pho with the optional jalapeños, cilantro or basil, Sriracha, and a squeeze of lime.
