The Fast & The Furious Delicious (Asian style soups)!

Some weeks ago I made Asian flavoured broth & realized some Asian soup based on my home-made Asian broth: you see – all is getting very „Asian“ & very fast. You remember that I always get a lot of broth – Asian flavored or not – so that I decided to blog about 2 more approaches to fast Asian soups.

We are dealing today with:

• a mix of pork & egg & vegetables
• a mix of shrimps & vegetables.

Let’s start!

What do we need for our „Asian Shrimp Soup“:

• shrimps
• snow peas
• spring onions
• rice noodles
• Asian flavored broth.

We chop the vegetables & heat the broth.

We fry the shrimps in peanut oil w/ some pressed garlic & add the vegetables after 4-5 minutes & continue frying.

In the meantime we soak the rice noodles in the hot broth: pls refer to the cooking instruction on the packet for the exact time (it’s only some minutes!).

Now: dump the ingredients of your pan (or wok) in a bowl. Add the rice noodles on top.

Fill the bowl w/ the hot broth.

…& enjoy!

Coming now to our „Asian Pork Soup“:

What do we need:

• thin spaghetti
• spring onions
• 1 carrot
• some mushrooms
• pork (e. g. pork cutlet w/o bones)
• 1 egg
• a fresh chili pepper
• Asian broth.

…& again:

1. Chop the vegetables & the meat.
2. Heat the Asian broth.
3. Cook the spaghetti (about 5 min for thin spaghetti) & drain them.
4. In the meantime fry the pork & the vegetables in peanut oil & add some common Chinese spices mix. (It shouldn’t take more than 5 – 10 min; the vegetables shall stay al dente.)
5. Toss everything in a bowl. Add the drained spaghetti.

Finishing:

1. In the still hot pan (or wok) crack the egg & fry it & stir to tear the set egg apart.
2. Add the fried egg to the bowl covering the pork & the vegetables.
3. Add hot Asian broth.

Finally sprinkle the chopped chili on top.

Once more: enjoy!

Notes

Cook Time: It’s more 15 min for the Asian pork soup.

Servings: For 2 people you’ll need 400 ml Asian broth i. e. 1 container w/ frozen broth. Double all the other ingredients as well.

Shrimps: You may use any type of „shrimps“ you like i. e. smaller or bigger from Northern or Southern oceans.

Spaghetti: You may use any Chinese or Japanese noodles which happen to sit in your pantry.

Cooking spaghetti: you may also cook the spaghetti in Asian broth. Be aware that you’ll need some more broth in this case.

Chinese spices mix: I used a ready-to-use mix available in my trusted food store caring for the typical Chinese flavour.

Any Asian style soup should be served at once & enjoyed at once!

This is a short description for a slim process… Well: Asian style soup making is easy & fast assumed you just have to go to your freezer & grab some frozen Asian broth…

All noodles used for the Asian soups don’t need more than some minutes of cooking or soaking in hot water/broth.

The typical Asian flavour comes w/ the Asian broth… (I’ll whistle-blow: you may also use straightforward simple home-made broth as well as any ready-to-use broth/stock from your trusted food store.)

Generally the main idea is:

• cook some noodles
• fry some meat or seafood
• fry some vegetables
• add hot broth
• enjoy immediately!

The meat should be fit for stir-frying; use any vegetables available you’ll use for a wok dish. Add some spices to create an overall Asian flavor.

These Asian style soups consist mainly of hard stuff & only few hot liquid around. They will nourish you & restart your energies & heat you up when coming home & it’s raining, stormy, snowy… helping you to master any bad (weather) day!

I see: it’s always the same (I already stated…). I like it because there are lots of possibilities to combine until-now-non-processed leftovers – if vegetables, if meat, if seafood… & it’s so easy & fast!
