This is another fab thing to do with leftover chicken stock, don't use store bought or it will overpower the other flavours (or at least use more water.) This is really quick and spicy and major comfort food.
Ingredients
- 3C chicken stock, try my homemade recipe. shopping list
- 2c water shopping list
- 3 stalks of lemongrass shopping list
- 3T fish stock, vietnamese or thai shopping list
- 10-12 kaffir lime leaves shopping list
- 1T canola oil shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- a thumb-sized piece of ginger, minced (about as much as the garlic when said and done.) shopping list
- 1 large shallot, finely diced shopping list
- 1/2t crushed thai chillies shopping list
- 20 raw prawns shopping list
- 1/4 package of rice stick noodles shopping list
- 2 limes, 1 1/2 juiced and 1/2 into wedges for garnish shopping list
- 1 handful of cilantro leaves only shopping list
How to make it
- Bring to a simmer the water, chicken stock, fish sauce, lime leaves and lemon grass(bruised) . Allow it to simmer for at least 20 minutes.
- In a pot large enough to accommodate the stock sweat the shallots, garlic, ginger and chillies until shallot is translucent - about 5 minutes. Don't let the garlic brown!
- Strain the broth into the pot with the garlic and etc. Bring to a boil.
- Ideally you want to cook the noodles and prawns so they finish at the same time. In my case the noodles were about 6 minutes. So I cooked the noodles for 4 minutes, turned it down to a simmer and added the prawns which take about 2 minutes.
- When prawns and noodles are done take the soup off the heat. Stir in lime juice. Taste for salt, depending on your fish sauce you may need to add some.
- Ladle soup into bowls garnish with a healthy amount of cilantro and a lime wedge.
