Thai food is one of my favourite cuisines. It is full of flavour and uses an array of different ingredients that are not usually found in western food.
This is one of my favourite soups.
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 15 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
12 large prawns, shelled and deveined then cut in half
3 cups of Chicken Stock
200 grams of mushrooms ( I use Chinese mushrooms or setas)
1 lemongrass stem, cut into short lengths (in Spain, this is called "Caña Santa" and can be found at SuperCor)
5 slices of Ginger
Juice from 1 1/2 limes
3 tblsp of Fish Sauce
5-6 Hot Chillies, just broken with pestle
2-3 Kaffir lime leaves, chopped (these are hard to find in Spain... so I use Fresh Basil)
2 Coriander plants, chopped coarsely.
Preparation:
Heat the stock until boiling. Add the lemongrass, ginger, prawns and mushrooms. Add lime joince, fish sauve and chillies. Add Kaffir lime leaves and chopped coriander, remove from heat and serve hot.
