Difficulty: Easy
My 3 year old son loves nui ga, more so when mommy makes it. It is one of his favorite dish. This French influenced dish is a wonderful one pot meal and it can freeze easily. I used orzo in this dish, which "bloomed" from sitting in the broth, making it a hit with many small children.
1 cup orzo
2 qt water
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups diced carrots small optional
1/2 lb ground or sliced thinly pork or chicken
2 stalks green onions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp mushroom seasoning optional
2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
1/4 cup minced onions
Heat up a large stock pot and add oil to cover the bottom. Have your meat mixture nearby before you put the garlic in the pot. Saute the garlic until a light brown color then add your meat. Brown the meat to bring some color. Add your minced onion, bouillon powder, mushroom seasoning, and carrots. Add your water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so you don't have a hard boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the top, to ensure you have a clear broth. Add orzo and cook until it is soft. Add fish sauce and turn off heat. Add the chopped onions and cilantro and taste. Adjust with more fish sauce if too bland.
