5-2 Recipes: ASIAN CHICKEN BROTH

121 calories per serving

We had some roast chicken for dinner last night and I decided 

to make some fresh stock. This tasty broth is so low in calories

 it’s great for a fast day. It somehow manages to be both fresh 

and warming at the same time! Warning, this is quite a hot and

 spicy soup, if you don’t like it too hot, cut down to 1 or even a half a chilli.

Either use use a chicken carcass, or 6 fresh chicken wings for the stock.

Serves 4 Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes

1 litre fresh chicken stock

2 chillis, de-seeded and chopped into rings

6 spring onions, shredded

1 thumb ginger, peeled and cut into very thin strips

pinch of mace

1 red pepper, de-seeded and cut into strips

1 tsp salt

1 tsp rice vinegar

1 tsp nam pla (fish sauce)

1 tin reduced fat coconut milk

2 limes

Heat the chicken stock with the chillis, spring onions, ginger, mace

 and red pepper. Using a fine grater, grate in the zest of one lime.

 Add a pinch of mace, salt, nam pla and rice vinegar and simmer 

for 20 minutes.Stir in the coconut milk and the juice of both limes.

 Heat for a further 5 minutes until hot and just bubbling.

Serve immediately either on it’s own or over rice or noodles.

 If you like you can add extra ingredients such as mushrooms

 (13 calories for 100g) or green beans (35 calories for 100g).

As with nearly all my recipes, the broth freezes brilliantly so you

can keep some for your next fasting day.
