    Super Duper Easy Tart Lime Broth and Noodles

    23 November, 2010 by Kip 2 Comments

    Lime Soup with Noodles

    This damned weather, combined with the fact that I'm currently experiencing that special bottomless-pit-of-a-stomach feeling understood only by women (once a month) and teenage boys (always), calls for lots of fast snacks to keep me going throughout the day. As I write this, I'm finishing a bowl of ice cream. I'm not close to full.

    Inspired by sweet and sour Khmer and Vietnamese soups, this dead easy vegan noodle soup fills a hole and takes less than ten minutes to throw together. Great with rice or mung bean noodles, make it into a full meal by adding some veggies and tofu into the broth while it's cooking.

    Lime Noodle Soup

    Makes one big bowl full
    • Ingredients
      • 480ml (2 cups) water
      • 2 stalks lemongrass, cut into a several pieces and heavily bruised
      • 2-3 kaffir lime leaves
      • 2-3 cloves garlic
      • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
      • 1 tablespoon lime juice
      • ½-1 teaspoon palm sugar
      • Pinch of salt
      • Coriander and spring onion, to garnish
      • Noodles, cooked per packet instructions
    • Directions/Method
      1. Prepare your noodles and place them in your soup bowl.
      2. Bring the water to the boil with the lemongrass and kaffir lime. Meanwhile make a paste out of the lime juice, soy sauce, and garlic (use a pestle and mortar, but if you don't have one just super finely mince the garlic). After about five minutes' boiling time, add the paste. Turn the heat down to medium low. Add the palm sugar and a pinch of salt.
      3. Leave to cook for another few minutes before straining the broth through mesh onto the noodles. Garnish with spring onion and coriander leaves.

    A thoughtful read for long time vegans and nonvegans alike, this is one of the best styles of arguing for and discussion veganism I have yet to find. Highly recommended reading.
