Balinese Tomato And Lemongrass Broth Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine broth, 3 cups water, onion, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, cilantro, whole chile, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes. Strain, discarding solids; return broth to pot. Stir in fish sauce; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add Broccolini and return to a boil; cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Using tongs, transfer to a plate. Add noodles to pot and cook until just al dente, about 4 to 5 minutes for wheat noodles, 3 minutes for rice noodles. Drain.
• Divide noodles among bowls. Add Broccolini to hot broth, then gently add tofu and heat through over medium. Spoon broth, Broccolini, and tofu over noodles. Garnish with herbs and sliced chile, and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring stock to a boil. Add lemongrass, chopped tomatoes, shallots, cilantro, ginger, garlic and kaffir lime leaves. Simmer for 45 minutes.
• Strain through a fine sieve. Discard solids. Stir in the fish sauce, adding more if desired. Divide among four serving bowls, and garnish with cucumber, tomato, bean sprouts and cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge.

Steps:

• In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Add onion, and sauté until translucent. Add celery, and continue cooking until celery is just soft on edges. Add bay leaf, popcorn and chicken stock. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until popcorn is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Discard bay leaf. Place a fine sieve over a clean pot. Working in batches, use a blender to purée mixture as finely as possible. Transfer each batch to sieve, and press out as much liquid as possible; discard pressed purée remaining in the sieve.
• Place pot of sieved broth over medium-high heat. Add heavy cream and milk. Cut 5 tablespoons butter into pieces, and whisk in one piece at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
