Ingredients
- 400 grams firm tofu

- 100 grams kale, chopped
- 1000 ml vegetable broth
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Carefully add the tofu cubes to the soup, allowing them to simmer and absorb the flavors for 5–7 minutes.
Add the chopped kale to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted.
Remove the soup from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread or steamed rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!
