Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
½ pounds | Egg noodles; dried or fresh |
1 quart | Chicken stock; or vegetable stock |
2 tablespoons | Scallions; finely chopped |
1 tablespoon | Fresh coriander; finely chopped |
½ cup | Celery; finely chopped |
2 teaspoons | Sesame oil |
1 tablespoon | Chili oil |
1 tablespoon | Fish sauce; (nam pla) |
1 tablespoon | Fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon | Soy sauce |
2 teaspoons | Sugar |
INTRO: *Serves 2 to 4. Egg noodles are a simple and comforting food, plain, homey, nutritious, and satisfying. Combined with soup, their virtues are magnified and when we add a touch of Southeast Asian zest -- lime juice and fish sauce -- the result is a wholesome soup that can serve as a light lunch for two or as a soup starter for any meal.
PREP: If you are using fresh noodles, blanch them for 3 to 5 minutes in a large pan of boiling water, then immerse in cold water. If you are using dried noodles, cook in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the noodles, cool in cold water until required.
Put the stock into a pot and bring it to a simmer. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the noodles and add them to the soup. Bring the soup back to simmering and serve at once. PER SERVING: 328CAL, 10.0G fat (27.7% cff); 45.7G carb.
