This recipe of mine is based around one of my favourite Thai soups, Tom Kha Gai. Since my easy-to-get-to local shops don't carry lemongrass, galangal, or kaffir lime leaves, I've made substitutes that do a great job of mimicking them (until I can get out to the proper shops)! I hope you give this a try.
When I make this soup, I like to use a blend of broths for a richer flavour. Here I used half chicken broth, half shrimp stock. I've added a link on how to make my shrimp stock.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Link: Homemade Shrimp Stock Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups shrimp stock
- 1 1- inch piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1/3 jalapeno, thinly sliced
- 1/3 carrot, peeled and chopped
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 bay leaves
- zest of 2 limes
- 1 13.5 can (13.5oz) coconut milk
- 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 8 oz baby corns
- 8 oz straw mushrooms
- juice of 2 limes
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
- hot chili sauce for garnish
Steps:
- Place broth, stock, ginger, green onion, jalapeno, carrot, brown sugar, and bay leaves in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for about 15 minutes.
- Stir in coconut milk and lime zest. Bring heat up to boil, then lower to a simmer.
- Stir in the chicken, baby corn, and mushrooms, keeping the soup at a low and gentle boil. Stir frequently, until chicken is fully cooked. Add lime juice and add salt to taste. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a few drops of hot chili sauce.

Question: Weight Watchers Japanese Flank Steak Recipe?

December 14, 2010
I am looking for a Weight Watchers recipe for marinated flank steak. It was in recipe book from the late 60's or early 70's. I think it was called Japanese Flank Steak. I believe it used ginger as one of the ingredients.

I have a newer WW cookbook from a couple of years ago that has a recipe for marinated flank steak. It might be an updated version of the recipe you are looking for.
Advertisem*nt
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp. honey
2 tsp. grated peeled fresh ginger (or 1 tsp. ground)
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh lemongrass
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. dry sherry
pinch crushed red pepper
1 (1 lb) flank steak
2 tsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
The directions (which are wordy) call for mixing the marinade ingredients (up to the flank steak above) in a gallon zip top bag and then add the steak. Refrigerate, turning occasionally overnight, or up to 24 hours. Remove meat from refrigerator 30 minutes before broiling.
Preheat broiler. Discard marinade and pat steak dry with a paper towel, then drizzle with the oil. Broil 3 inches from heat, turning once and sprinkling the salt on the cooked side, about 4 minutes a side. Season with pepper. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, let stand 2-3 minutes then cut on diagonal into 12 slices.

This is one of those easy recipes to whip up that doesn't require any time to marinate in the fridge. I went a little heavy on the lemongrass (I absolutely love lemongrass) and fish sauce but it's just so delicious!
