Jessicas Thai Coconut Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Boil the shrimp until cooked, about one minute. Drain shrimp, and set aside.
• Pour the coconut milk and 2 cups of water in a large saucepan; bring to a simmer. Add the galangal, lemon grass, and lime leaves; simmer for 10 minutes, or until the flavors are infused. Strain the coconut milk into a new pan and discard the spices. Simmer the shiitake mushrooms in the coconut milk for five minutes. Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Season to taste with curry powder.
• To serve, reheat shrimp in the soup, and ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with green onion and red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Cook and stir the ginger, lemongrass, and curry paste in the heated oil for 1 minute.
• Slowly pour the chicken broth over the mixture, stirring continually.
• Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar; simmer for 15 minutes.
• Pour in the coconut milk and mushrooms; cook and stir until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the shrimp; cook until no longer translucent about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the lime juice; season with salt; garnish with cilantro.
• NOTE: My favorite way to enjoy this soup is poured over steamed brown basmati rice. Also, if you cannot find lemongrass you can use lemongrass paste, although the flavor will not be exactly the same. Some people prefer to leave the lemongrass stalk in-tact and then remove from soup prior to serving. This will work fine, I just prefer the added texture of the minced lemongrass. I would also like to add that some brands of red curry paste are extremely spicy, while others are very mild. So the spiciness will depend on how much you add and also on what brand you use.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the ginger, lemongrass, and curry paste in the heated oil for 1 minute. Slowly pour the chicken broth over the mixture, stirring continually. Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar; simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and mushrooms; cook and stir until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp; cook until no longer translucent about 5 minutes. Stir in the lime juice; season with salt; garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• To the soup base, add the coconut milk and lime leaves. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, lime juice and sugar. Add the dumplings and simmer until done, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the softened glass noodles on four soup bowls. Place two dumplings crisscross on top of the noodles, leaning to the side of the bowl. Divide the soup onto the four bowls. Garnish each bowl with julienne of carrots, leeks, Thai chiles and lime leaf. Serve immediately.
• In a saucepan, combine the lobster stock, chili paste, lemon grass, Thai basil leaves and Thai bird chile and bring to a boil. Reduce until only 2 cups remain.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, potato starch and black pepper. Mix until well blended. Divide into 8 portions. Wrap each portion around the end of each sugarcane stick. Reserve.

Steps:
