Afternoon Snack at Work
my Port Wine Jelly & Fruit Cups


Back at home, I felt like noodle soup. I set about with an idea.

In the food processor, I blended some dried shrimp, onion, garlic and chilli flakes. In some olive in a pot, I fried this mixture for a few minutes to release the flavours, then filled the pot with water, added a stalk of lemongrass, a cube of beef stock, some star anise, soy sauce and fish sauce. I let the soup boil and simmer for a while before adding some frozen beef balls and fresh pork belly. Once the meat was cooked, I remove it to slice it up and threw in some sliced cabbage into the soup. I cooked the vietnamese rice noodles in a separate pot, then rinsed them in cold water to stop them from sticking together. I placed the noodles in a large soup bowl, added sliced of the pork and beef, some thinly sliced red onion, and then ladled in lots of the spicy soup.

Delicious!!
