Brothy Noodle Soup with Tiger Shrimp and Vegetables
This is just another rendition of a brothy dish we've been eating quite a bit since our semi-recent discovery of the virtually carb-free yam flour noodles. These noodles are made from the konnyaku root (a distant cousin of the yam) and are essentially fiber. They are sold under the brand name "Shirataki" at Whole Foods or by various brands under some variation of "yam noodle" at Asian groceries like 99 Ranch.
Ingredients:
-1/2 onion, thinly sliced or minced
-6-8 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
-1 lb tiger prawns, peeled
-a few handfuls of spinch, washed
-1 handful of cherry tomatos
-4 stalks chinese broccoli, chopped in 1 or 2 inch pieces
-2 large trumpet mushrooms, sliced thinly
-1 cans broth
-1 tb oyster sauce
-2 tb rooster sauce
-1 tb sesame oil
-3 tb fish sauce
-2 tb soy sauce
-2 packages yam noodles (approx 2 servings per package).
How to:
1) Sautee onions and garlic in a tb of olive oil until onions are just translucent.
2) Add 1 tb soy sauce and the mushrooms and continue cooking until the mushrooms soften.
3) Add all liquid ingredients and bring to a boil.
4) Add in noodles and veggies (except spinach) and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes or so.
5) Add shrimp and spinach and simmer for 2 minutes..
6) Serve.
Serves: 2 plus leftovers
