Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan, combine ½ cup of thinly sliced scallions, 2 tablespoons of Thai Spice Blend, and ¼ cup of water over medium heat. Cook for about 2 minutes until the scallions soften and the spices become fragrant.
  2. Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable stock or water along with 1 cup each of green beans and sliced carrots. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 4 ounces of dry brown rice noodles, 1 cup of snow peas, 1 cup of broccoli florets, and 1 baby bok choy cut into pieces. Simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked and the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of unsweetened plant milk and let it cook for an additional minute. Next, add 3 tablespoons of lime juice and ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt, adjusting according to your taste.
  5. Before serving, toss in 4 to 6 fresh basil leaves torn into pieces. Ladle into bowls and enjoy.
