Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 cups water
2 (6 ounce) swordfish steaks
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium vegetable bouillon
1 medium lime, juiced, divided
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup bean sprouts
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
4 green onions, chopped
1 red jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced, or to taste
1 stalk lemongrass, split lengthwise
5 sprigs cilantro, stemmed and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic, divided
1 ounce finely chopped ginger
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 heads baby bok choy, cut into 1-inch pieces
14 ounces buckwheat noodles
3 drops sesame oil, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a pot. Rinse swordfish and pat dry; season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce boiling water to a simmer. Stir in bouillon and 3/4 of the lime juice. Add carrots, bean sprouts, soy sauce, green onions, jalapeno, lemongrass, cilantro, 2/3 of the garlic, and ginger. Simmer broth for at least 10 minutes.
