PRAWN & MONKFISH TOM KHA G*I
One of those bowls where the broth is almost as good as the fish.
Beautiful monkfish & prawns from The Counter in Dartmouth, swimming in a fragrant Thai coconut broth with lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chilli, lime leaves & fresh lime, all piled over silky rice noodles.
A little recipe for you:
For the broth:
• 1 tin coconut milk
• 500ml chicken or fish stock
• 2 lemongrass stalks, bashed
• 3–4 slices fresh ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2–3 Thai chillies, sliced
• 3 kaffir lime leaves
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tsp palm sugar
• Juice of 1–2 limes
Simmer everything together for 10–15 minutes to get all those gorgeous aromatics into the broth.
Remove the lemongrass and lime leaves, then add chunks of monkfish and cook for a few minutes before adding the prawns.
Meanwhile, cook your rice noodles and divide between bowls. Ladle over the hot Tom Kha broth and finish with fresh lime juice, coriander, Thai basil and plenty of extra chilli.
Big Thai flavours, incredible fish and slurpy noodles. What’s not to love?
