If, like me, you may have had one rum and coke too many last night this recipe is for you. It's a delicious simple broth that is quick to make and really tasty. It feels like comfort food without being heavy and I promise you'll feel a little bit better with every spoonful. This is an adaptation of a recipe for the brilliant Leon cookbook (I can not recommend this book enough - every recipe I have ever cooked from it has been great).
You'll need (recipe serves 2 for a big dinner):
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled and sliced
- 75g of rice vermicelli noodles
- 750ml chicken stock
- a thumb-sized chunk of root ginger, grated
- About quarter of a red chilli, finely sliced
- 2 chicken breasts - chopped into bite-size chunks
- half a head of brocolli, cut into pieces
- 100g french/green beans
- a small handful of chopped coriander.
Put the sweet potato, stock and ginger and chilli into a deep, wide pan and bring to a rolling boil for a couple of minutes before turning down to simmer for 5 minutes more. Now put in the chicken pieces abd keep cooking for another 5 minutes. Finally add the noodles, brocolli and beans and cook for a final 3 minutes. Serve in big bowls with some fresh coriander sprinkled on the top. You can add a little soy sauce for seasoning if you fancy it.
I hope you enjoy it!
