1teaspoonvegetable stock powder or pasteI just used the usual Bouillon one I have in the cupboard, one day I will get round to doing Thermie stock or my vegetable stock paste concentrate
100grice noodlesI used fresh (that's all I had, you may need to add more if you want a thicker soup)
400gtin of coconut milk
½lime
2handfulsraw peeled king prawnsyou can used previously cooked prawns if you can't find raw
1teaspoonfish sauce
Instructions
Place the 3 cm piece of fresh ginger, 1 red chilli, 1 stalk lemongrass, 2 cloves garlic and 1 handful fresh coriander in the Thermomix bowl and chop: 10 seconds, speed 7.
Use a spatula to lower down any bits that may have climbed up the walls of the bowl. Add the 5 g olive oil and chop another 5 seconds, speed 7.
Add the ¼ teaspoon turmeric, about 120 g cold water and the 1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder or paste: 7 minutes, Varoma, speed 1.
If you are not using fresh noodles and they need preparing, this is the moment to do it, follow packet instructions.
Add the 400 g tin of coconut milk then fill the tin with a bit of water, swirl it around to make sure you catch all the milk then fill it up and pour enough water in the bowl to cover the whole blade unit (including the top): 7 minutes, Varoma, speed 1. While it's doing that, juice the ½ lime into the measuring cup, this way any bits that shoot away will fall in the lid and go down anyway, empty it into the bowl while the Thermomix is running.
Add the 2 handfuls raw peeled king prawns and1 teaspoon fish sauce (I had planned on adding the noodles here too but I forgot): 3 minutes, Varoma, reverse, stir speed (the icon with the spoon).
Add the 100 g rice noodles: 3 minutes, Varoma, reverse, soft speed.
