Spicy Devil's Tom Yum Soup
Spicy Devil's Tom Yum Soup might be just the main course you are searching for. One portion of this dish contains around 23g of protein, 9g of fat, and a total of 265 calories. This recipe serves 8. This recipe is typical of Asian cuisine. A mixture of baby corn, lime leaves, salt, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. To use up the vegetable oil you could follow this main course with the Blueberry Coffee Cake #SundaySupper as a dessert. Autumn will be even more special with this recipe.
Instructions
Wash the prawns, remove the heads, shells, and black veins, and retain the heads. Set the cleaned prawns aside.
Place the prawn heads in a large saucepan or soup pot with the water, bring to a boil, and boil over high heat to reduce the stock and concentrate the flavor, about 15 minutes. Strain out the prawn heads and discard.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the garlic, lemon grass, lime leaves, shallots, galangal, and red chilies until the shallots are translucent and the seasonings are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chili paste, cook and stir for 1 minute, and add the chicken breast and lime juice. Stir well to evenly mix in the chili paste, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour the seasoned chicken-lime juice mixture into the prawn stock, and bring to a boil over medium-low heat.
When the soup begins to boil, stir in the squid rings, baby corn, straw mushrooms, cleaned prawns, and tomatoes. Turn the heat to low, stir in the coconut milk, and let the soup simmer until the prawns are pink and opaque, about 5 minutes.
Add salt to taste, and serve.
Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Riesling
Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling are my top picks for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not.
As beautiful as the single vineyard Gewürztraminers Red Newt bottles can be, they are opulent and bruising wines with a very loud personality. This version is made and blended in such a way that it is lighter, more refreshing, and with more fruit aromas as compared to rose perfume. A friendlier Gewürztraminer.
