  • 1 recipe vegetarian pho broth
  • 6 ounces firm tofu, cut in dominoes
  • Soy sauce to taste (optional)
  • 3 cups cooked quinoa
  • 3 broccoli crowns, broken into florets and cut in slices 1/4 inch thick
  • A 3-inch piece of white radish, peeled and cut in 1 1/2-inch julienne
  • 1/2 cup Asian or purple basil leaves, slivered if large, left whole if small
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 to 4 bird or serrano chilies, sliced thin or finely chopped (to taste)
  • 6 mint sprigs
  • 3 to 4 limes, cut in wedges

God damn hipsters.
