    Serves 2

    500 ml chicken stock

    1Bring the chicken stock to the boil. Meanwhile, wash and halve the asparagus. Cook the asparagus in the hot stock for about 5 minutes, then remove and set aside.

    2Remove the black veins from the prawns, then wash them and pat them dry. Peel and finely chop the shallots.

    3Heat the oil in a wok and sauté the shallots for 2 minutes. Add the asparagus, prawns and stock. Simmer the soup for 3 minutes.

    4Remove the wok from the hob. Combine the cornmeal with a little water to make a smooth paste, then stir into the soup.

    5Heat the soup again and continue cooking until it has thickened slightly. Stir in the fish sauce and season with salt and pepper.

    Nigiri sushi

    with tuna and caviar

    Preparation time: approx. 25 minutes (plus cooking and cooling time)

    Per portion approx. 145 kcal/608 kJ

    6 g P, 2 g F, 26 g CH

    Serves 2

    60 g sushi rice

    ½ tbsp rice vinegar

    ½ tbsp sugar

    ¼ tsp salt

    1 tsp wasabi powder

    ½ tbsp rice wine (mirin)

    a little vinegar water

    approx. 30 g very fresh fish fillet, e.g. tuna or mackerel

    ¼ nori leaf

    1–2 tbsp trout or salmon caviar or sea urchin roe soy sauce to serve

    1Wash and drain the rice, then bring to the boil in 75 ml of water and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Leave in the saucepan for 15 minutes to steam. Bring the rice vinegar, sugar and salt to the boil. Cool, then stir into the rice. Leave the rice until quite cold.

    2Stir together the wasabi powder, 1 tablespoon of water and the mirin. Moisten the hands in vinegar water. Take up 1 tablespoon of rice and shape into an oval dumpling; this quantity should produce 6 dumplings.

    3Cut the fish fillet into 3 slices at a slight angle. Brush with half the wasabi mix. Take 1 slice of fish in your left hand. Place a rice ball on top and press down firmly. Turn the sushi over and press into a neat oval.

    4Dry fry the nori leaf on one side, then cut into strips 3–4 cm wide and brush with the remainder of the wasabi mix.
