ShuThai soup

For a study buddy night, we made this to keep our motors going on a rainy and cloudy day that wasn't helping with our motivation. Great for the winter especially if made spicy to warm up your soul. Great as leftovers if you're in a heavy school work week (just double the recipe).

ShuThai soup

1             pack ramen (I had duck flavor with the oil and garlic packet you add at the end)

10           frozen shumai (we used pork)

2-4          lemongrass sausage sliced

3 cups      frozen veggies (used the meridionale mix)

4-5 cups   hot water (depending on how thick you want it)

1 can       coconut milk

3-5 tsp     curry powder

1/2 tsp     nutmeg

1 tsp        sriracha (you choose which level of spicy!)

1/2 tsp     herbes de provence (hdp)

1 cup       fresh chopped cilantro

1 tsp        olive oil

Slices of lime

salt

pepper

medium fry pan

Large sauce pan

Max 15 minutes

In a fry pan add the olive oil, sausage, frozen veggies, hdp, salt and pepper to taste. Once the sausage is browned and the veggies are hot, add to the sauce pan. Add the water, shumai, ramen flavor packet, and bring it all to about 7 on the stove. Add and incorporate well the coconut milk, curry powder (add more or less depending on what you like, personally I like more!), nutmeg, and sriracha (salt and pepper if needed). Once the noodles are done, serve with sliced lime, topped with cilantro, drops of the garlic oil, and drops of sriracha.

Redacciones:

- ADD PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did this with the leftovers and it was FANTASTIC since the flavors became more pronounced. But you can add it while cooking by heating about 4 tbsp with some of the bouillon in the microwave, make sure it's well incorporated and add to the saucepan before you add the coconut milk.

- Replace ramen with zucchini cut into thin strips like fettucini pan fried at the end, or boil them with the soup from the beginning.

- Serve with a side of Bo or more shumai.

- add dumplings instead of shumai, or gyoza (or serve aside nice and crispy :))

- Use an asian veggie mix with bamboo shoots, baby corn, etc. instead of the meridionale.
