Ok, this soup recipe kicks serious ass...wow: |
|
From one of my favorite sites, 101 Cookbooks:
"A Luxurious and Deeply Aromatic Noodle Dish
Heidi note: This is my slightly adapted vegetarian version - the book features this recipe with crab-meat and prawns.
For the spice paste: Chilies - 4 or 5 small, hot red ones Garlic - 2 or 3 small cloves Ginger - a small lump, about the size of a walnut in its shell Lemon grass - 2 or 3 plump stalks Coriander seeds - a few Coriander leaves - a few (hs note: cilantro for all you non-brits) Ground tumeric - a teaspoon vegetable oil - a little
For the soup: Stock - vegetable, 500 ml Coconut milk - 400ml (lite is ok) A lime - just the juice Soy sauce Mint - a small handful of leaves
To finish: Noodles - I think I used about 1 lb....big, chubby, fresh asian egg ones.
Halve and seed the chilies. Peel the garlic. Peel and shred the ginger. Finely slice the tender, innermost leaves of the lemon grass. Grind the coriander seeds or crush them in a mortar. Blitz it all to a thick paste in a food processor with the coriander leaves and any well scrubbed roots, plus the tumeric. You may need a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to help it go round but add as little as you can.
Place a fairly deep pan over moderate heat, add half the spice paste (keep the other half in the fridge for tomorrow) and fry it, movingit round the pan, for a minute or so, then pour in the stock, coconut milk, and a splash of soy sauce -- let it come to the boil. Turn the heat down and let the soup simer for ten minutes. Meanwhile cook the noodles briefly in boiling water and drain them.
Divide the noodles between four large, deep bowls and ladle over hot soup. Sprinkle with mint leaves.
Serves about 4."
Oh yum! :9

5. I bet if you took out the soy sauce and added a big pinch of saffron.... |
|
it would be really good, too!
But I bet it's damn tasty as is, too!
Drooooool.....

Sounds really good! Not that we're having anything like soup weather here.

10. Go to one of Warren's classes. He's a friend of mine and one of the best cooks I ever met. |
