Rice Soup With Fish Ginger And Onion Recipes

CHINESE RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine broth ingredients: Place chicken stock, soy sauce, Chinesse cooking wine, garlic and ginger in a small pot over high heat.
• Simmer to infuse: Place lid on, bring to simmer then reduce to medium and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
• Add rice: Add rice and cook uncovered for 10 minutes - broth surface should be bubbling very gently.
• Add fish & stems: Add fish and stems of choy sum, cook for 2 minutes.
• Pick garlic and ginger out of soup.
• Stir through choy sum leaves (they will wilt almost instantly), sesame oil and pepper. Serve immediately.

RICE SOUP WITH FISH, GINGER, AND ONION

Steps:

• Run your thumb along the top of the fish fillet to check for errant bones. If you find some, cut along each side of the line of bones, cutting as close to the bones as possible to avoid waste, and discard the thin strip containing them. Slice the fish into pieces about 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 1/8 inch thick, angling your knife if necessary to get the needed width.
• To remove some of the harshness of the onion, put it in a bowl and add hot tap water to cover. Let sit for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
• To make the marinade, in a bowl, combine the salt, sugar, oil, fish sauce, vinegar, ginger, and cilantro. Add the fish and onion and use your hand to mix gently. Set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the fish to absorb the other flavors and turn slightly opaque. The fish may be refrigerated for several hours, but it should sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving to take the chill off.
• In a saucepan, bring the rice soup almost to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Meanwhile, divide the fish among the soup bowls, leaving any liquid behind. Ladle the hot soup over the fish. Garnish with scallion and pepper before serving. Before eating, tell diners to stir the fish from the bottom to ensure that it cooks in the hot soup and the flavors are well mixed.

CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH GINGER AND TURMERIC

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the oil with 3/4 cup scallions, the garlic, finely chopped ginger, coriander and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the rice and stir until coated. Add the chicken stock and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over high. Meanwhile, prepare the bok choy: Trim and discard the ends, then halve crosswise, separating the leafy bok choy tops from the heftier stems. Cut the stems crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Once the stock comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully add the whole chicken, then the wings and legs, adding the meat in a single layer. (If the chicken isn't fully submerged, add enough water until the meat is fully covered.) Cover the pot with a lid, leaving the lid cracked open about 1 inch, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Reduce the heat to low if necessary. You want to keep it at a low simmer to ensure the chicken stays tender.) Transfer the chicken to a large bowl.
• Continue to cook the soup over medium, uncovered, until the rice is tender and the liquid starts to thicken, 20 to 25 minutes. While the rice continues to cook, shred the chicken: Once cool, discard the chicken skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding the bones. (You should have about 3 packed cups of shredded meat.)
• Stir the bok choy stems and shredded chicken into the soup, and simmer just until stems are slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the leafy bok choy tops, and season to taste with salt.
• Divide among bowls and serve with bowls of chile, cilantro, sliced scallions and julienned ginger, to garnish.

TURMERIC, GINGER & COCONUT FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, then fry the onion for 8 mins until translucent. Stir in the ginger and spices, and cook for another minute. Pour in the coconut milk and 100ml water, stir, then simmer for 10 mins.
• Add the cod, frozen peas and sugar snap peas, and simmer for 5 mins until the fish is flaky. Serve with the rice, sliced chilli, a good grinding of black pepper and some lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

FISH SOUP AND RICE

Steps:

• Remove flesh from fish and chop into chunks and reserve.
• In a large pot, place cleaned fish head and bones.
• Twist lemongrass stalks and tie in a knot. Beat them to release flavour before adding to the pot.
• Cover with at least three inches of water, bring to a boil and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Strain liquid, discarding solids.
• Return fish broth to pot, add chopped vegetables, soy sauce, vinegar and, if necessary, water to cover.
• Add chunks of fish, turmeric and salt to taste and cook over moderate heat until fish is cooked.
• To thicken the soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water to a paste then add to the soup.
• Serve poured over steamed rice or with rice on the side, as preferred.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER & SPRING ONION

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut a large rectangle of foil, big enough to make a large envelope. Place the pak choi on the foil, followed by the fish, then the ginger and garlic. Pour over the soy sauce and rice wine, then season.
• Fold over foil and seal the 3 edges, then put on a baking sheet. Cook for 20 mins, open the parcel and scatter over the spring onions and coriander. Serve with brown rice and squeezed lime juice.
