1. Dehydrate the mung bean sprouts overnight or until very small and withered looking: they will become like noodles and absorb the flavors of the soup.
2. Crack open 5 coconuts, save the coconut water, and put the meats through the juicer. You may need to clean out your juicer half way through the process because (your very own homemade!) coconut butter will accumulate around the centrifuge.
(Save this! And also save the fiber: it is, essentially, your own homemade shredded coconut, great for pie crusts, macaroons, etc.)
3. Pour the coconut “juice” with the coconut water into a big pot with a lid.
4. Squeeze in lime juice. (Lime squeezers facilitate this task, especially if you’re using itty bitty key limes!)
5. In a separate bowl, mix Amino Acids with miso and some water until smooth and liquid, (so you don’t get clumps when you add it in) then add to soup pot.
6. Stir in chili powder, chili flakes, and dulse. (If you prefer, you can substitute Nama Shoyu for the dulse-amino acids-miso mixture. The stuff makes me break out, which is why I didn’t use it.)
7. Grate ginger (or mince very small if you don’t have a ginger grater) and add to pot.
8. Remove big stems from cilantro, mince (I use a mezza-luna knife) and add to pot.
9. Remove outer leaves from lemongrass, mince, and add to pot.
10. Add dehydrated mung bean sprouts to pot.
11. Cover and let sit for 2 hours or store in fridge for 4-6 hours. (So that the mung beans absorb the flavor of the soup!)
12. Taste! Then stir in pure water until the taste and texture satisfy you.
13. Remove the greens from a head of bok choy, chop, and add to pot.

VoilĂ ! You’re done! Serve warm by removing all the trays from your dehydrator and putting the pot in there for 30 minutes at 150 degrees (no, the soup won’t get anywhere near that temperature).

Note: there might be a little bit of coconut butter floating on top in the pot. It will melt and make the soup all the yummier when you warm it before serving.
