How to make Hot Thai Soup with Sea Bass
This fiery broth is a lovely treat on a summer's evening. Tom Ka paste can be bought from most oriental supermarkets (and probably some others) - it's a mixture of chilli, shallots, galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime and is great for thai cooking.
I used the largish, medium heat chillies here - 2 made this rather fiery, leaving the seeds in. Obviously you can adjust!
It's really very good, very very healthy and extremely quick and easy!
- Bring the water just to the boil in a large pan and dissolve the paste into it.
- Add all ingredients apart from the fish, prawns and herbs.
- Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the sea bass fillets. Cover and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add prawns. Re-cover and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
- Ensure the prawns and fish are cooked through - add the coriander & basil - serve and enjoy!
