Bruise lemongrass well to release oils.
Add a dash of chili oil for heat if you like.
Keep noodles a touch firm by removing from heat a bit early.
Use lime wedges to finish at the table for fresh acidity.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with sliced scallions and a soft-boiled egg for extra protein; pair with a side of pickled vegetables.
