Mise en placegingergarlicshallotlime
- 01BROTH · Bash garlic, shallot, and ginger so they burst open and release flavor.
- 02Heat coconut oil in a heavy pot over medium until shimmering.
- 03Sauté aromatics until fragrant — about 90 seconds, do not let them brown.
- 04Pour in coconut milk and add lemongrass; bring just to a simmer.
- 05Lower heat. Add chili and tofu, season with fish sauce or salt.
- 06Simmer gently for 6 minutes so the tofu absorbs the broth.
- 07Taste — add lime juice to brighten, sugar if it is too sharp.
- 08Finish with torn cilantro and a swirl of chili oil. Serve over rice.
Tip: Bash the lemongrass with the back of a knife — bruising releases far more aroma than slicing.

This portfolio page uses
Live MapLibre GL JS map served from OpenFreeMap (free, no signup, no API key) — vector tiles built from OpenStreetMap (ODbL). Charcoal + saffron + a warm terracotta #c75d3a accent. No proprietary keys, nothing phoned home.
Principles
- ·OSM-native restaurant search — Overpass + Nominatim, no API key, no rate-limit-of-shame
- ·Optional Spoonacular for recipe ingestion — works fully on static seed without it
- ·MapLibre default with optional Mapbox / MapTiler / OpenFreeMap — your tile choice, not ours
- ·Step-by-step cooking mode with real ticking timers — built, not borrowed
- ·Self-hostable end to end — Docker Compose up, you own the data
- ·Product UI borrows SBB Lyne icons — Apache-2.0 design system, glyphs only, none of the SBB brand color
Portfolio: OpenFreeMap · OpenStreetMap (ODbL) · MapLibre GL JS (BSD-3) · Product also borrows SBB Lyne (Apache-2.0, icons only, system not brand)
