ABOUT Lemon Coriander Soup & Sesame Chicken Toast RECIPE

The soup I learnt from my friend Bibi Sarkar, a great cook and restaurateur. The sesame Chicken Toast is a take-off on the Chinese prawn sesame toast. I had a little bit of boiled chicken that came out of the stock bones. My philosophy is waste not.

Ingredients Serving: 1

Chicken stock: 1/2 litre
Shredded chicken: 1/2 cup
Fish sauce: 1 tsp
Garlic: 1/2 tsp finely minced
Fresh coriander stems: 1 tsp finely chopped
Jalapeno: Optional
Cornflour: 1 tbsp
Lime juice: 1 tsp
Bread: 1 slice cut in sandwich triangle
Egg: 1
Green onions: 1 tsp finely chopped
Vinegar: to taste
Light Soya Sauce: 1 tsp
White Sesame seeds: 2 tbsp
Sesame oil: 1-1/2 tbsp
Fresh coriander: 1 tsp finely chopped

Instructions

For the Soup: Make chicken stock with the neck and bony pieces which hardly have any meat on them.
Heat a little oil, add chopped garlic and chopped coriander stems. Fry a little and add a little shredded chicken. Add the stock and some fish sauce. Adjust seasoning -- salt and pepper. Thicken with cornflour.
Add a little chopped fresh coriander, finely chopped red jalapenos if you want and lime juice before taking off fire.
For the Sesame Toast: Make a thick paste with the shredded chicken, chopped green onions, minced ginger, some chopped jalapeno or green chillies if you want, a drop of vinegar, some light soya sauce, one beaten egg and cornflour.
Spread this on the bread and coat with sesame seeds.
You are then supposed to deep fry but I heated a little sesame oil in a non-stick pan and panfried just a little for the mixture to set on the bread. Then I toasted the slices just about right in the oven. Turned out really good.
