Directions:

• 1In a large, heavy-based stockpot, combine the stock, galangal, turmeric, lemongrass, coriander roots and lime leaves. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse. Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 10–20 minutes, before straining into a large jug or bowl. Discard the herbs and spices – they've done their job, leaving you with a gorgeously fragrant soup base.
• 2Pour the strained soup back into the stockpot and add the tofu and mushrooms, if using. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, to allow the tofu to absorb all the flavours.
• 3Stir in the chilli, lime juice, lime zest and palm sugar. Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce and vinegar, then add the noodles, beans, snow peas and capsicum. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are separated and warmed through, and the beans are just tender. Be careful not to let the soup boil, or your coconut milk might separate.
• 4Remove from the heat and ladle into four warmed bowls. Garnish with the shredded lime leaves and coriander sprigs and serve immediately, with lime wedges.
