Steps:
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shallots and lemongrass and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring well.
- Add the wine, the grated or finely chopped ginger and a little salt, then turn the heat up to high. Boil off the wine by half, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the lemon juice, one tablespoon of celery leaves, and taste for salt-add some if you need it.
- Pour the sauce into a food processor and blitz it until it becomes a thick puree; it should look a bit like a light green mayo, as everything will emulsify.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine broth, 3 cups water, onion, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, cilantro, whole chile, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes. Strain, discarding solids; return broth to pot. Stir in fish sauce; season with salt.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add Broccolini and return to a boil; cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Using tongs, transfer to a plate. Add noodles to pot and cook until just al dente, about 4 to 5 minutes for wheat noodles, 3 minutes for rice noodles. Drain.
- Divide noodles among bowls. Add Broccolini to hot broth, then gently add tofu and heat through over medium. Spoon broth, Broccolini, and tofu over noodles. Garnish with herbs and sliced chile, and serve with lime wedges.
SOBA NOODLES WITH GINGER BROTH AND CRUNCHY GINGER
This noodle dish celebrates the pungent, spicy notes of ginger by both infusing it in stock to create a warming broth and frying it with shallots and panko to create crunchy ginger crumbs you'll want to sprinkle onto everything: eggs, rice or even a savory porridge. Feel free to double the amount of the ginger crumbs, if you like; they'll keep in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to one week. Serve these noodles with your protein of choice - tofu, fish, leftover roast chicken - or any cooked vegetable for a complete meal.

Steps:
- First, prepare the toppings: Add 4 tablespoons oil to a large skillet and heat gently over medium. Place the red-pepper (chilli) flakes and paprika into a small heatproof bowl. Once the oil is quite hot but not smoking, pour it over the spices. Set aside to infuse as you make the ginger crumbs.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high. Once hot, turn the heat back down to medium and add the ginger and shallot. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until nicely browned and starting to crisp. Add the panko, sesame seeds and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes more, stirring often, until nicely toasted. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the broth: Add all the broth ingredients plus 3/4 cup/200 milliliters water and 1 teaspoon salt to a medium lidded saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover once simmering, turn the heat down to low and cook for 25 minutes. Drain through a sieve set over a bowl, discarding the solids, and return the broth to the saucepan along with another 1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters hot water. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
- Prepare the noodles: Boil them in a pot or saucepan according to package instructions, or for 5 minutes in plenty of boiling water. Drain well and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Return the drained noodles to the pot or saucepan and toss with the lime juice, soy sauce and cilantro (coriander).
- Divide the warm broth across four bowls, then use a fork to twist and gather the noodles and nest them artfully in the bowls. Top with a spoonful of the ginger crumbs and the chile oil, serving the remaining alongside.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh ginger, lemongrass, and broccoli will give your broth the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the broth will become diluted and the flavors will be less intense.
- Simmer the broth for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the ingredients to meld together and create a delicious broth.
- Season the broth to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the broth is flavorful and balanced.
- Serve the broth hot. Ginger-lemongrass broth is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it if you have leftovers.
Conclusion:
Ginger-lemongrass broth with noodles, silken tofu, and broccoli is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The broth is flavorful and refreshing, and the noodles, tofu, and broccoli add a satisfying texture and flavor. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
