Lemongrass And Ginger Egg Drop Soup With Rainbow Chard Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the ghee or olive oil. Add the onion and sweat until translucent, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the carrots, ginger, and lemongrass and stir to coat the vegetables with the ghee or oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
• Add the broth and increase the heat to medium. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, blending in batches if necessary. Season with sea salt to taste and serve immediately.
• Do Ahead:
• You can refrigerate the soup for up to 1 week, or freeze it for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Bring the single chicken breast, lemongrass stalks, onion, and ginger together in a large pot. Boil for 30 minutes while skimming off excess foam floating to the top with a sieve. Remove chicken breast about halfway through.
• In a separate pot, simmer the 6 cups chicken stock with red chili pepper flakes.
• Bring the broths together and let simmer for 10 more minutes.
• Add 1 tbsp oil to frying pan and sear the chicken breast until thoroughly browned. Set aside and cut into strips.
• On the same frying pan, slightly cook the enoki mushrooms for a minute.
• Cook the egg noodles according to package directions and set aside.
• Place noodles, kimchi, mushrooms, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and chicken strips in a bowl.
• Fill with chicken broth and garnish with scallion strips or red bell pepper slices.
• *The chicken breast was boiled first to save time and to ensure a fully cooked chicken. You may skip this step and simply sear it from the beginning.

Steps:

• In a saucepot, combine stock, water, lemongrass, garlic, chile and sliced ginger. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Steep aromatics in broth 5-6 minutes. Remove and discard solids.
• Cut remaining piece of ginger into thin matchsticks and add to broth. Turn off heat. Beat eggs with cornstarch. Stir broth vigorously to form a vortex and drizzle eggs into soup. Add scallions and chard, and serve at once.

Steps:

• Heat the stock over medium heat. Trim two of the lemongrass stalks of their toughest outer layers, then bruise them with the back of a knife; cut them into sections and add them to the stock with the ginger and about one-fourth of the minced chiles if you're using them. Simmer for about 15 minutes, longer if you have the time. (You can prepare the recipe in advance up to this point; cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before proceeding.) Peel all the hard layers off the remaining stalk of lemongrass and mince its tender inner core.
• When you're just about ready to eat the soup, remove the lemongrass and ginger. Add 1 tablespoon of the nam pla and the chopped mushrooms. Taste the broth and add more chiles if you like, as well as some salt if necessary. In the bottom of each of 4 warmed bowls, sprinkle a little chile if using, lime leaves or zest, lime juice, cilantro, and minced lemongrass. Ladle the soup into the bowls and add a teaspoon of nam pla to each bowl. Serve piping hot.
