Noodle Fish Pepper Soup

                                                      Noodle Fish Pepper Soup

Okay, so they other day I was under the weather. I had blocked nose and my throat was sore. I immediately knew I was coming up with something and I needed to act fast. I needed something to give me life, something natural. I needed to get some ginger, garlic, nutmeg and all their cousins in my system fast.  I needed paper soup, so I cooked this "Noodle Fish Pepper Soup" to her fight the symptoms.

I used Tilapia fish but you can use any fish of your choice. I would have used our very own "Indomie" noodles but I did not have any at home so I used another brand. I made my own pepper soup spices but you can buy ready made ones form any african shop. You can also use spaghetti or rice for this, I also have a recipe for yam pepper soup, which I hope to post at some point.  Ok lets start.

Ingredients
1 whole Tilapia (gutted & cleaned)
Pepper soup spices
1 Scotch Bonnet
3 cloves Garlic
Thumb size Garlic
Salt
Fish Sauce (Optional)
Oyster sauce (Optional)
Seasoning
1/2 Pack of Noodles (quantity can be varied)

Start by chopping the garlic, ginger and scotch bonnet, you can  also run this in a food processor.

In a pot put a tablespoon of vegetable oil (optional)

Stir fry your chopped ginger garlic and scotch bonnet

Pour some water in the pot (I had some stock at home so I used it)

Add 2tablespoon of fish sauce

Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

Add the noodles

Add 2 teaspoons the pepper soup spice mix and add the fish.

Cover to simmer, after a few minutes turn the fish, to allow both sides cook properly

Serve and enjoy

So here you have it "Noodle Fish Pepper Soup"
