INSTRUCTIONS
Add rice, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until the water is absorbed and grains are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Add lime juice to the cooked rice and fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm. (4-serving meal: use 2 cups water).
In a second small saucepan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add shallot, ginger, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add coconut milk, bouillon cube, and 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Add lemongrass and tomato and let simmer until step 4. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 3 cups water). TIP: Crush the halved lemongrass stalk to release more flavor.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, tofu, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until tofu is browned in places, 5 to 8 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 4 tbsp vegetable oil).
Remove lemongrass from the soup and discard. Divide cooked rice between bowls. Ladle Thai lemongrass soup on top and add crispy mushrooms and tofu. Top with scallion. Soup’s on!
