Southeast Asian Fish Soup

Now that I stopped working I am so relaxed that my brain is going soft and I find myself forgetting the most basic things....either it is because I am relaxed or it is old age...either way, same result. (The good thing about old age is that you have lots of time to get used to the idea!). Anyway, I find that I can't even trust myself to remember the simplest of recipes, so just in case I forget this one I am storing it here. It is SO easy that it shouldn't even be called "cooking" and it is delicious.
You'll notice that it is another "one pot" recipe. I only cook "one pot" recipes, in fact I modify all recipes into "one pot" deals.... I am not crazy about doing dishes.

Oil
Onions chopped fine
Grated ginger
Minced or crushed garlic
Chopped hot peppers (the red ones look nicer in this soup)
....... together low heat pan fry

Pieces of fish
....add and pan fry some more

Chicken broth
Fish sauce
..... add and bring to boil

Some green veggies (asparagus are nice) ...if you feel like it

Beaten eggs .... to make egg "strings" if you feel like it

Fish Soup with Curry Leaves and Coconut Milk

I want to remember the fish soup I made tonight, I saw a TV program where Jamie Oliver made a soup like this... I do not remember the details of what he put in it. I saw it once and didn't write anything... I am just very clear that he did not use spinach.

oil
mustard seeds (I am telling you let them pop!!!! ...and for those you do not know: put a lid on the pot)
coriander seeds
curry leaves
        Temper together

turmeric (for colour)
basmati rice
         Temper some more it can't hurt

water
fish
       Cook

spinach
    Cook some more

coconut milk
       Simmer

Lime juice
        Simmer

I recommend adding a insane amount of freshly ground black pepper to it, just individually in your own plate.
Also if it is not an evening dish and you eat it where there is a lot of light (we ate at candle light) I would add cubes of red peppers just to have some specks of red in the plate.
