Indonesian Shrimp Soup - (Sop Udang) - print recipe
 
   
 
Yield:
Ingredients:
 
1/4 cup rice sticks broken up
40 ml peanut oil
6   shallots (or an onion) thinly sliced
3   garlic cloves crushed
1 piece fresh ginger - (2") grated
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp tumeric
2 cup fish stock
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup shrimp cleaned, peeled,
    and split
1/2 cup bean sprouts
    Salt to taste
    Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
4   scallions chopped for garnish
Method:
Break the rice sticks into a pan and cover with boiling water for 5 minutes - then strain. Reserve.



Fry the shallots and garlic for a few minutes in the oil, then add the ginger, coriander, and tumeric. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.



When ready to serve, add the rice sticks and the coconut milk and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes. (If you bring the coconut milk to a boil, you'll lose the coconut taste.) Toss in the shrimp and bean sprouts and simmer for 5 more minutes. Adjust the seasoning, ladle into bowls, and garnish with chopped scallions.



Serve hot to 4 people.



Comments: What a taste treat - great with a sandwich for lunch if you're not in the mood to go whole hog into an Indonesian feast. And it's just as good, if not better with chicken and chicken stock.
