Ingredients:

• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves of minced garlic
• 5 cups of vegetable broth
• 1 sweet potato, diced
• 10 oz of flat, pad-thai style rice noodles
• 1 inch peeled and chopped fresh ginger
• 1 ½ cups of full-fat coconut milk

• ½ tsp of cumin
• ½ tsp of curry powder
• ½ tsp of turmeric
• 1 tsp of salt

Toppings

• 1 cup of diced baby boy choy
• 1 red chili pepper, diced
• 1 cup of chopped cilantro leaves
• 375 gram of cubed extra firm tofu, 1 block
• 1 lime, quartered

Instructions:

1. Throw the sweet potato, onion, and garlic into a big pot with a splash or two of water. To soften, sauté for about 5 minutes.
2. Mix in the curry powder, salt, ginger, turmeric, and cumin. Toast the spices and coat the vegetables; this process should take around 5 minutes.
3. Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth. To make sure the sweet potato is fully cooked, boil it for 15 minutes and then turn the heat down to a simmer.
4. Put in the rice noodles and simmer for about 4 minutes or until they’re soft. The noodles should be prepared independently from the rest of the dish if you’re meal preparing.
5. Prepare in bowls and garnish as desired.
