Prawn Broth

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot, sauté the prawns and lemongrass in a little oil until the prawns are pink and cooked through.

   Tip: Optional: Add a few drops of fish sauce for added umami flavor.

2. 2

   Add the onions, carrots, and ginger to the pot and sauté until they are softened.

   Tip: Optional: Add a little more oil if the vegetables are sticking to the bottom of the pot.

3. 3

   Add the garlic, chicken broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar, and salt to the pot.

   Tip: Optional: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

   Tip: Optional: Use this time to prepare any garnishes, such as fresh herbs or lime wedges.

5. 5

   Use an immersion blender to puree some or all of the broth, depending on your desired consistency.

   Tip: Optional: For a clearer broth, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.

6. 6

   Return the pot to the heat and simmer the broth for a few more minutes until it is hot and steaming.

   Tip: Optional: Serve the broth hot, garnished with your choice of herbs or other garnishes.
