I found this recipe on .au but I modified it a lot for our dinner tonight. The two of us greedy pigs ate it all, but more modest eaters could get 3 serves I reckon. The original recipe had more of the ingredients, but we are just two, so I am posting it for us to make again soon. We thought it was wonderful! It might look like a lot of ingredients, but I thought it was super easy to make. The nutritional data on my chicken stock said it was virtuallyt fat free as were the pad-thai noodles, but 's data thinks differently! Ingredients:
4 cups fat-free chicken stock |
2 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, sliced |
2 whole star anise |
4 teaspoons soy sauce |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1 green chili, divided |
1 garlic clove |
350 g boneless white fish fillets, skin removed, roughly chopped |
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped |
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
salt and pepper |
200 g dried rice-stick noodles (pad thai) |
1 small head of broccoli, cut into small florets |
50 g snow peas, trimmed |
1 bunch asparagus, woody ends removed, cut in half |
fresh coriander leaves, to serve |
lime wedge, to serve |
Directions:
1. Place stock, ginger, star anise, soy sauce,sugar, garlic and half the green chilli in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until slightly reduced.
2. Meanwhile, place fish, coriander, lime rind, garlic in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Process until combined. Roll heaped tablespoons of mixture into balls.
3. Place noodles in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender. Using a fork, separate noodles. Drain.
4. Strain stock mixture into a bowl. Return to pan over medium heat. Add fish balls to stock mixture. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, then add the broccoli florets through. Cook for two minutes, then add the asparagus, cook a minute more, then lastly dd snow peas. Cook for 1 minute or until tender.
5. Divide noodles between bowls. Ladle soup, vegetables and fish balls over noodles. Top with coriander and serve with a lime wedge.
