-
1 small onion or 2 shallots, halved
-
2 cloves garlic
-
15 g fresh ginger, peeled
-
1 celery stalk, chopped
-
1 carrot, sliced
-
1 small zucchini, sliced
-
1 handful spinach or Asian greens
-
1 teaspoon turmeric powder or 10 g fresh turmeric
-
1 tablespoon tamari or light soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
800 g water or vegetable stock

Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs (parsley, coriander, or spring onion) to serve
Method (Thermomix)
1. Prepare the Aromatics
Place the onion, garlic, and ginger into the Thermomix bowl. Chop 5 sec / Speed 7. Scrape down the sides.
Add the oil and sauté 4 min / 100°C / Speed 1 until fragrant and softened.
2. Build the Broth
Add celery, carrot, zucchini, turmeric, tamari, and water or stock. Cook 15 min / 100°C / Reverse / Speed Spoon.
This gentle cooking allows the vegetables and spices to release their nutrients and flavor without overpowering the broth.
3. Add Konjac Fettuccini
Drain and rinse the konjac fettuccini thoroughly under cold water (this removes the natural brine smell).
Add the noodles to the Thermomix bowl and cook 5 min / 100°C / Reverse / Speed Spoon.
4. Finish and Balance
Add spinach or greens and lemon juice. Cook 1–2 min / 90°C / Reverse / Speed Spoon, just until the greens wilt.
Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
