      This is a delicious spicy clear broth packed with oriental flavours, if you have over indulged at the weekend and had one to many cocktails this is a great way to get back on track!

      Serves 4-5

      Ingredients

      1.2 litres good quality chicken stock
      2cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped into match sticks
      2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
      1 lemongrass stalk sliced down the middle and bashed to release flavour
      1 green finger chilli, sliced
      1 lime, zested and juiced
      3 tbsp. Chinese rice wine or sherry
      1.5 tbsp. fish sauce
      1 tsp Demerara sugar
      250g fresh king prawns
      1 red chilli, sliced finely
      3 spring onions, white and green parts sliced
      1 nest of rice vermicelli noodles
      150g button mushrooms, wiped and sliced in half
      Small bunch of fresh coriander, chopped

      Method

      Place the chicken stock, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, green chilli, lime zest and juice, rice wine, fish sauce and sugar into a medium-sized saucepan and bring to the boil, reduce the heat down slightly and bubble for 5 minutes, this will allow all the flavours to mingle.

      1 large red pepper, roughly chopped
      1 green pepper, roughly chopped
      300g Aubergine, cubed
      2 onions, chopped
      4 tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped
      1 tsp. sea salt
      1 heaped teaspoon of Herbs de Provence
      small handful of fresh basil or parsely, shredded

      Method

      1. Add the olive oil to the cooking pot and saute using the Long Cooking function with the lid off. You want them to have a nice colour to them. Add the peppers and saute for a few minutes until they colour slightly.
