Instructions
- To make the stock, heat the oil in a large pan and cook the vegetables, covered, for 5 minutes, without coloring. Add the ginger and 8 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 1 hour.
- Cut the extra carrots and celery into strips. Cut the corn in half lengthways and trim the broccoli and cauliflower into florets.
- Strain the stock and discard vegetables. Strain again, back into the pan, and bring the stock to a simmer. Add the carrot and corn, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the celery, leek, broccoli, cauliflower, and sugar snap peas and cook for 3-4 minutes. Do not over cook the vegetables-they should be tender and crisp.
- Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and season to taste. Stir in the watercress and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
For stronger tasting stock, simmer with vegetable for up to 4 hours. I like to make the stock in large quantities in advance and freeze it.
