Stash some of this versatile broth in the fridge, add fresh veg and frozen dumplings and you'll have a flavourful meal ready to go in minutesLook out for frozen dumplings at Asian stores and keep a stock in your freezer for quick meals.A big bowl of soup and a chunk of bread will nurture any soul, but for those who want to ring the changes, put together a broth pot, as I decided to make this week.You simply make a big batch of a fragrant base broth which can be stored in the fridge.
I added some chicken stock, but you can add the stock of your choice. The liquid in which a chicken has been poached is very flavoursome.2. ADD YOUR AROMATICS The basis of an Asian broth may be water, but the secret lies in the aromatics, like lemongrass, ginger or galangal, garlic, lime leaves , sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms, chilli, soy sauce and star anise. The amounts of the aromatics you add will depend on your taste.
Add the aromatics to the base broth and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and simmer gently for about 30 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.Taste the broth and evaluate according the four foundations of Asian flavour: sweet, sour, salty and spicy.
