Time 17m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 stalks lemongrass
2 pints vegetable stock
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 egg white
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 spring onions, chopped, to garnish
10 coriander sprigs, to garnish
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • With the flat of a heavy knife, crush the lemongrass stalks.
  • Put the stock in a wok and bring to simmering point. Add lemongrass, salt, pepper, sugar and lemon juice and stir to mix well. Simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove the lemongrass stalks and discard.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg white lightly and combine with the sesame oil. Pour into the stock in a very slow, thin stream. Using chopsticks, pull the egg gently into strands by stirring in a figure of 8 motion.
  • Turn into a soup tureen or individual bowls, garnish with the coriander and spring onions and serve at once.
