Jono & Jules do food & wine

WOO-HA! This is a fandabidozi soup!

Jono and me sold lots of wine today and got home late. If I’d have had my way we would have stopped in the pub for grub on the way home. I’m so glad he persuaded me to stick with the plan for Vietnamese soup.

If you like prawns and asian-style you will love this!! Super tasty and super healthy too.

Serves two tired people with very little effort:

• 75g basmati rice
• 750ml  chicken stock
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• a finger of fresh ginger, cut into little matchsticks
• 1 lime, juiced
• 3 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 150g raw, peeled prawns
• 15g chopped dill
• coriander to serve (but don’t go buying any just for this)

1. Cook the rice until al dente and drain.
2. Boil the stock, add the fish sauce, ginger, rice, lime juice, tomatoes, prawns and dill.
3. Simmer until the prawns are pink and cooked.
4. Serve with a bit of coriander over the top if you have some.
5. Slurp.
