Recipe
Tom Kha lentils
Sweat the lentils and onions . Add your finely chopped Thai garnish and your curry paste (be careful not to color otherwise there will be a bitter taste).
Moisten with water, cook for 25 minutes. Add the liter of coconut milk , cook for 20 minutes.
Mix finely and pass through a Chinese cheesecloth. Reduce at your convenience.
Season with the sugar , lemon and nuoc mam .
Warning: cooking too long with the seasoning breaks the taste of the lemon (unpleasant cooked citrus taste).
Ravioli
Roast the pumpkins in the oven (160 ° C - 1h) with the equivalent of a glass of water in the bottom of the baking sheet. Mash them and season with the ingredients.
Assemble the ravioli . Steam the ravioli for 4 min or grill in a pan.
For the dressing : place the ravioli in a deep plate, pour the hot Tom Kha on top and dress the butternut julienne with the herbs.
