Finding all ingredients for making the Thunder Tea Rice Soup is getting difficult as some of the ingredients are not easily available. Here is a very simplified soup! Grounded peanut powder can be added, if desired.
This reminds us how much effort by many people and the natural gifts (sunshine, rain, soil) went into growing, harvesting, processing, cooking and serving the food that we eat every meal. How blessed we are! When we are hungry, we have food. Living in this era, we get to taste different wonderful and scrumptious cuisines even without having to step out of the country. Maybe, when we have our meal, just be thankful.
Preparation: 8 mins Cooking time: 8 mins
Ingredients (serves 2)
° 25g mint leaves (stems removed before weighing)
° 25g coriander
° 500ml water
° salt, to taste
° granulated mushroom bouillon (optional), to taste
° 1½ teaspoon green tea powder, or to taste
° some roasted/toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish
Method
1. Place the mint leaves, coriander, and ginger in a blender with 125ml of water. Blend well and set aside.
2. Pour 375ml of water into a pot and bring to a boil. Stir in the vegetable puree and bring to a boil.
3. Season to taste with salt, granulated mushroom bouillon and stir in the green tea powder.
4. Ladle the soup into individual serving bowls, sprinkle some sesame seeds and serve hot.
Thanks a lot for this variation. With mint and coriander, it is just the soup we need in Summer! I'll try it very soon.

Just two more questions: by "coriander", do you mean the seeds or the leaves? I suppose it is the leaves, but would like to be sure.
ReplyDeleteHow much ginger do you add?
Thanks
Now that's a really good idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Virginie
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Coriander is Coriander leaves.
Feel free to change the variation and amount and explore. I feel there is still room for changes, just that I could not jump out of that box yet.
Ginger can be omitted in summer or use just 1-2 thin slices. Ginger warm the body and too much of it can make the soup a little 'spicy'and change the taste of it.
Have a lovely day :)
Cheers :)
