Lemongrass Soup

For the lemongrass soup, cut the lemongrass stalks diagonally into fine pieces. The stalks can be used completely, nothing needs to be removed. Peel the onion, cut it in half and remove the root base in a wedge shape. Cut the onion into coarse pieces. Roughly pluck the kaffir lime leaves. Crush the loomi by a short blow with the heel of your hand. Peel and quarter the lime. Heat the vegetable oil in a coated pan and add 2 drops of sesame oil – not too much, sesame oil has a slightly penetrating effect! – Add to it. Sauté the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, loomi, lime and onions over a low heat. Season with 1 pinch of salt and deglaze with white wine or Prosecco. Turn up the heat and let the liquid boil down until there is very little left. Then add the fish sauce and pour the water. Reduce to a simmer until reduced by half, add the coconut milk and bring to a boil once. Reduce the temperature and simmer for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and finally strain through a pointed sieve. Arrange the soup on the plate.

Mix onion sprouts, coriander leaves, leaves of Thai basil and lemon thyme and place decoratively on the lemongrass soup. If you like, you can also add a handful of fresh bean sprouts or pak choi from the Asian store to the hot soup – the heat will cook the vegetables slightly.
