I am cooking more and more vegan meals, not only are they healthy but they taste damn good too. Husband has a full belly and is pleased and I am happy that my vegan man is happy ..
Ingredients for broth
Grab 2 or 3 red chillies depending on your personal heat preference, seed them, de-vain and chop coarsely.
1 Brown onion, chopped coarsely
Little bit of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped coarsely
3 stalks of lemongrass, chopped coarsely
Juice of one lime
1 Kaffir lime leaf
1 vegetable stock cube
9 cups of water
seasoning
Grab a big pot and add all ingredients, bring to the boil for around 30 minutes, then turn down to a low simmer and simmer for around an hour and a half to two hours. Keep an eye on your broth to make sure it doesn't reduce too much.
Once that is done, grab another pot either the same size or bigger and strain the broth into it. Put back onto a low simmer.
This is where the Vegetables come in ..
A handful of each shall do ..
Broccoli
Chopped cabbage
Washed Bok choy
Shittake mushrooms
1 Zucchini sliced thinly
Packet of thin noodles of your choice
You can add more vegetables of your choice also if you wish.
Don't forget the Garnish ..
Chopped Basil
Chopped Corriander
1 Spring onion, thinly sliced
Bean shoots.
The Ending ...
Add your veg and noodles to the simmering broth and continue to simmer just until the broccoli has softened but not overcooked ..
Grab a nice big bowl, add some broth first, then the noodles and veg and lastly - garnish =)
