Thai/Japanese/Oriental Noodle Soup - Marie Murphy


If you can get to a Wing Yip, (the big Chinese supermarket), they do
fantastic deals on seafood.. tiger prawns, green lipped mussels,
squid etc. etc. Even their pak choi is incredibly cheap for a
large bunch!

Each soup is made individually.

Into a nice china soupbowl, (also good price at Wing Yip)
put a teaspoon of thai curry paste (red or green)
and a sachet or large spoonful of miso.

Meanwhile, as you cook your noodles gently in a bit
of hot water, steam some mussels, prawns or
whatever takes your fancy on top in a little bamboo
basket (Wing Yip again!) and chop some chinese
leaves/ pak choi, spring onions, ginger,
red peppers if you wish, nice and fine.

Boil a kettle of hot water, drain the noodles,
pour water into each bowl and quickly mix
the paste and miso, add a tong-full of noodles
then the other ingredients, including the seafood
(you can just have veg if you wish),
into the dish, with a little fish sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce
and chopped coriander, stir altogether and taste the
broth to suit your palate, I usually also
add chilli oil - and serve straight away.

Orgasmic!!!!!
