Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they may lead. - Louisa May Alcott

Asian Soup Stock

ingredients:

1 yellow onion
1 leek
4 celery sticks
4 carrots
1/2 bunch scallions
1 garlic bulb
2 stalks lemongrass
1 tbsp coarse salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 bunch cilantro
1.5 oz dried shiitake mushrooms
2 tsp black peppercorns
2 tsp szechuan peppercorns
20 cups (5 L) cold fresh water
2" piece of ginger, peeled and sliced

recipe:

1. Roughly chop the onion, leek, carrot, celery and scallions. Separate garlic cloves. Cut off the top half of the lemongrass stalk, remove the outer layer and discard.

Chop remaining stalk into 3" long pieces. Use the flat of your knife to smash the garlic and lemongrass.

2. Heat oil in a stock pot and add chopped vegetables and salt. Stir to coat and cook for 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except the ginger slices, and set to boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, adding the ginger halfway through.

3. Strain and use the stock immediately, or cool and refrigerate up to 3 days (or freeeze up to 2 months)
