I wanted to share one of my most delicious yet simple recipes: noodle soup. I made this dish for my family on multiple occasions and it is always a surefire hit. Even better, this is not the kind of recipe that takes 8 hours to painstakingly create a homemade broth. In fact, it only takes around half an hour from start to finish. So…here it is! I hope you try it out!
Ingredients (for 2 servings)
- 3 tsp vegetable oil
- 2 sliced green onions
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 peeled slice of ginger
- 2.5 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 cup baby corn
- 100 g fine egg noodles
- 1/5 cup sugar snap peas
- 125 g raw shelled shrimp
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp chopped cilantro
Procedure
- Heat vegetable oil in a pot and sauté the shrimp. Take out when you have a good sear on both sides.
- Sauté the green onions, ginger, and optionally, 1/2 tsp red crushed pepper flakes until toasty and a tasty aroma emerges.
- Add the chicken stock, soy sauce, lime juice, and optionally 1 tsp garlic powder. Bring to boil.
- Add the noodles, and 1 minute later, add the sugar snap peas and corn.
- Finally, add the shrimp back. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 1-2 minutes. Be sure not to overcook your shrimp.
- Tip: always taste your soup before serving (add soy sauce if it needs more salt, and make sure to taste your noodles to make sure they are cooked)
- ENJOY!
