Roast Duck and Crabmeat Soup With Tapioca (Geng Jeut Saku)

"Wonderful recipe from Thai Food by David Thompson. It has a slightly salty and nutty taste while the pea shoots and herbs maintain a wonderfully fresh flavour because they are not overcooked. I found the soup was at its best if topped with the garnishings in the serving bowl but then allowed to rest 5 minutes before serving. Note that this is best with home-made stock but if you're using store bought stock use a low-sodium variety, don't season with salt and use the smaller amount of soy sauce."

directions

  • Fry the garlic in vegetable oil until lightly roasted brown and reserve.
  • Remove any dust from tapioca by tossing in a sieve.
  • Bring pot with plenty of water to the boil and which in tapioca, stirring often to avoid clumps and sticking.
  • Simmer until translucent. This will take about 15 minutes for smaller tapioca and around 30 minutes to larger tapioca.
  • Drain in a sieve.
  • Bring stock to the boil seasoning with salt, sugar, oyster sauce and soy sauce.
  • Skim any solids from the top of the stock and reduce heat.
  • Add tapioca, crab, duck and pea shoots (or spinach leaves) and heat through, taking care that the soup does not boil. This takes about 10 minutes over a fairly low heat, gently stir often to avoid things clumping together.
  • Serve sprinkled with green onion, coriander, garlic and pepper with a little sesame oil drizzled over the top. For convenience and to let the flavours blend I combined this ingredients in advance in a small bowl.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live close Hobart in Tasmania, a wonderful part of Australia but a little chilly in winter so be sure to book your holiday for summer! I'm self-employed in the embedded electronics area and being at home most of the day gives me plenty of time to prepare those recipes with long preparation and cooking times. As most of my clients are either interstate or overseas I get to occasionally catch up with them and enjoy their local restaurants, always nice to have someone else paying the bills! <br /> <br />As well as food I'm partial to the odd beer &amp; wine, so often like to go to a local pub and catch some local bands. No need for an alarm clock in the morning, my cat Molly likes her breakfast at 8:00AM sharp and makes an effective alarm! Lately I've been starting to get into some digital photography so you might be seeing a few additional recipe shots on Zaar... <br /> <br /><a href=http://www.satsleuth.com/VisitorMap/stats.php?id=vUa1ya8Z> <br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/VisitorMap/globes/Globe_vUa1ya8Z.gif alt= /></a></p>
