Рецепт Furious Five-Spice Noodle Soup
Heather gave us a choice this month—watch Kung Fu Panda or Kung Fu Panda 2.
I decided to old-school-it and went with the original.
We had seen this a few years ago when the nephews were visiting. They loved it and the youngest one went from giggling hysterically to running to the back bedroom to hide during the scary parts. The film revolves around Po (the Kung Fu Panda of the title) who was raised above a noodle shop but may have a mysterious lineage. He dreams of being a hero just like the ancient Furious Five.
Action , adventure, intrigue and hilarity ensue. Spoiler alert: Po saves the day despite his bumbling antics.
Feeling overly clever and to celebrate Po’s humble beginnings, I decided to make Furious Five-Spice Noodle Soup.
Furious Five-Spice Noodle Soup
- slightly adapted from Five Spice Chicken Noodle Soup
- 8 oz. dried rice stick noodles (Pad Thai noodles)
- 6 c. organic chicken broth
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 T. fresh ginger, minced (I used 1 T. of ginger puree.)
- 1 t. Chinese five-spice powder
- 3 T. lime juice
- 1/4 c. Asian fish sauce
- 2 t. honey
- 2 c. shredded cooked chicken
- For condiments:
- 1 c. slivered fresh basil, preferably Thai
- 1 lime, cut in wedges
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (I used some slices of Bourbon Pickled Jalapenos).
Garlic chives
Soak and cook noodles according to package directions.
Combine the broth, shallots, ginger and five-spice powder in a large sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce and honey. Pour the sauce into the simmering broth and stir in the chicken to heat through. Add the noodles to the broth to heat for about 5 seconds.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish as desired with condiments.
Makes four generous servings.
I loved the aroma of this soup and I am now enamored with Chinese Five-Spice. In fact, look for my next post for a Chinese Five-Spice cookie that I am sure Po would love.
Heather, thanks for a fun film this month.
Chopsticks or spoon? The choice is yours.
