Oliver Recipes Free: Preparation
- Place the chicken in a pot so the chicken
wont stick out. Add the tamarind, ginger, chopped chili, onion,
lemon grass, garlic and coriander stalks (you can leave the
elastic on...). Cover the chicken with water.
- Push with your hands on the chicken until
the back breaks, so the chicken gets deepen under water. Take
a lid or plate, smaller than the pot and put on the chicken.
Then add something with weight on the plate or lid, like a pestle.
Main thing is the chicken will always keep under water during
boiling.
- Bring to the boil and slowly simmer for at
least 1 hour. The chicken is ready when the meat can be removed
easily. If that's the case, remove the whole chicken from the
pot. With a fork, remove the meat from the chicken and cut of
tear the meat in bite size pieces.
- Add the coconut milk and some fish sauce
to the soup. Taste before adding in more fish sauce, as the
fish sauce can be pretty salty if you are not used to it.
- Put the rice noodles in a bowl, add boiling
water and leave for 3 minutes.
- In the mean while, mix the coriander leaves
with the diagonally sliced chili.
- Drain the noodles.
- Put some noodles in a soup bowl. Jamie Oliver
now adds some soy sauce on the noodles. You can also keep the
noodles like they are and serve the soy sauce in a separate
little bowl with cut chilies added.
- Put some of the chicken meat on top of the
noodles, use a sieve and poor the soup in the sieve over the
noodles and chicken.
- Add the fresh coriander-fresh chili on top.
- If the chicken soup is not
oily, add some sesame oil to your soup and serve with deep spoon
and chop sticks.
Put a piece of fresh lime on the table for
those who want the soup more sour.
