Nutrient-rich ingredients
The recipe for Thai-style fish broth with vegetables contains a combination of nutritious ingredients that contribute to its health-promoting properties:
- Brown rice noodles: Using brown rice instead of refined white rice makes this dish a good source of fiber and complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy and promote digestive health.
- Chicken or fish broth: The base of this broth is made from either chicken or fish broth, both of which contain valuable nutrients such as protein, collagen and minerals that support bone health and immune function.
- Thai red curry paste: The red Thai curry paste, enriched with a mixture of herbs and spices, gives the broth both heat and flavor. It contains ingredients such as garlic, ginger, lemongrass and chili peppers, which are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Kaffir lime leaves: These fragrant leaves not only give the broth a distinctive citrus-like aroma, but also provide various health benefits. Its essential oils contain compounds with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and digestive properties.
- Fish sauce: Fish sauce is a staple ingredient in Thai cuisine and adds a savory, umami flavor to the broth. It is rich in essential amino acids and minerals such as iodine, which is known to support thyroid function.
- Sustainable white fish without skin: This recipe recommends using skinless, sustainable white fish like pollock, which is low in fat and high in protein. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to heart health and reducing inflammation.
- Raw king prawns: Shrimp are a good source of lean protein as well as important vitamins and minerals such as selenium, zinc and magnesium. They are also low in calories and can contribute to a balanced diet.
- Pak choi: These leafy greens not only add vibrant color to the dish but are also full of nutrients. Bok choy is an excellent source of vitamins A, C and K as well as fiber. It also contains compounds that may have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Coriander leaves: The finishing touch is coriander leaves, which add a touch of freshness. They are rich in antioxidants and are said to have antibacterial properties. Coriander leaves can also improve digestion and promote healthy skin.
