Spicy Noodle Soup

This high protein soup is packed with rice noodles, bean sprouts and juicy king prawns in a spicy, coconut sauce.

I am always looking for ways to make new high protein soups, and this one is a belter! It’s a twist on the popular laksa soup, with fewer calories. Extremely easy to make, this is definitely a top pick for the weekend’s prep work. You can then take the soup to work with you and it’s tasty whether it’s hot or cold.

Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS

  • 500g rice noodles
  • 8-10 sprays light cooking oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 340g raw king prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 500ml boiling chicken stock
  • 3 tbsp laksa paste
  • 1 x 400ml tin light coconut milk
  • handful of beansprouts
  • 2 tsbsp fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped

METHOD

  1. Place the rice noodles in a bowl of boiling water and leave them to soften.

  2. Heat a pan over a medium heat and spray with cooking oil. Add the garlic and prawns and cook for 2 minutes.

  3. Add the stock, laksa paste and coconut milk and bring to a simmer.

Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.

Cherry clafoutis

I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.

Not quite a red curry, not quite a satay, this dish is the best of both worlds, inspired by Thai flavours and it is divine. It’s a throw-and-go recipe and I know we all love those at BOL. Perfect served with creamy coconut rice, some sliced red chilli and flatbreads.

Rick stein’s mini brioche toasts with whipped feta, fresh figs and pickled walnuts

‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
