Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams salmon fillet
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 2 lemongrass stalks
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 red chili
- 100 grams mushrooms (shiitake or button)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 spring onions
- 3 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Instructions
Prepare the salmon fillet by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Bruise the lemongrass stalks by gently pounding them with the back of a knife and then cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Peel and slice the ginger and garlic thinly. Slice the red chili and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and red chili. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring it to a gentle boil.
Lower the heat and stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Add the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. Simmer for another 3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Gently add the salmon pieces to the soup. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add extra lime juice, soy sauce, or chili for more heat or tanginess.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped spring onions and fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot.
