(immunoodle soup if you like)
I feel like it would be a bit redundant to explain my ridiculously long absence from the blog again, needless to say my job, and life in general, are bloody busy. However the other day my dishwasher started leaking, so thanks to Fisher and Paykel’s 5-hour window of anticipated arrival for fixing (which they did, praise-be), I found myself working from home this afternoon, with the sniffles. I had a bit of a rummage around in the fridge and pantry looking for something to blow-out my sinuses. Et voila – she packs a punch, but I’m hoping she’ll do the trick!
veg:
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup chopped kumara (about 2cm square)
1 tsp honey
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
paste:
3 cloves garlic
1/2 onion, roughly chopped
2 red chillies, roughly chopped
1 thumb ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon sesame oil
salt
1 tbsp neutral oil
soup:
1 tbs oyster sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Thai green chilli paste
400ml light coconut milk
2 tbs brown sugar
200g noodles of your choice (I had Hokkein in the pantry)
to serve:
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
coriander leaves
Preheat the oven to 180˚C fan bake
Pop all the veg ingredients in a baking dish and cook for about 20 minutes until soft and with a few burny bits. While they’re cooking, throw the paste ingredients in a small food processor and whiz to a chunky…paste. Heat the oil in a frying pan or pot and add the paste. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes then add the soup ingredients and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Prepare the noodles as described on the packet – I soaked mine in boiling water. Then drain and add with the cooked veges to the soup. Serve topped with chopped nuts and coriander leaves.

Brilliant. Thai soup (Tom) prep goes western – or what’s in the fridge. Will try – I can already taste it (hope you recuperated too!)
It tasted fantastic to me – hope you enjoyed it too 🙂 And yes thank you, back to full-power!
Sounds powerful – hope it worked. A sensational tasting bowl is Sooo good for the soul (and body).
PS It’s always worth the wait for the next blog post.
Thanks so much Lesley – and yes indeed it worked a treat! 🙂
This sounds so good! Will make this in the upcoming weeks :).
Maybe not the right place for such a question, but I didn’t notice a contact form on the site. I’ve noticed some recipes disappearing, for example the summer pasta, zucchini pasta and the pasta with brussel sprouts. Just in case this is not intentional and might go unnoticed I wanted to give you the heads up!
