Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 3 garlic cloves ((chopped))
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger ((grated))
  • 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 8 oz. boneless chicken breast or thighs ((225g, sliced))
  • 4 cups chicken broth ((950 ml))
  • 1 cup water ((235 ml))
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2/3 cup coconut milk ((160 ml))
  • 6 oz. dried rice vermicelli noodles ((170g))
  • lime wedges, sliced red onion, red chilis, cilantro, scallions ((to garnish))

Instruction

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add the oil, garlic, ginger, and Thai red curry paste. Fry for 5 minutes, until fragrant. Add the chicken and cook for a couple minutes, just until the chicken turns opaque.
  • Add the chicken broth, water, fish sauce, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil. At this point, taste the broth for salt and adjust seasoning accordingly (add salt if needed, or if it's too salty, add a bit of water). Pour the boiling soup over the dried vermicelli noodles in your serving bowls, add a squeeze of lime juice and your garnishes, and serve. The noodles will be ready to eat in a couple minutes.
  • (Alternatively, you can add the noodles to the boiling broth to cook them, and then divide among serving bowls).
