Description
With full of flavours and very addicting Northern Style Thai Coconut Curry Noodle Soup called Khao Soi. Easy and fast and healthy for weight watchers and Thai lovers. This soup can be made either with chicken, shrimp or tofu.
Cooking steps
- Boil the rice noodles as per package direction and drain them afterwards with cool water. Coat them with little oil to prevent sticking.
- While noodles are boiling, prep 1 large finely chopped shallot, 2 roughly chopped garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped lemongrass, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, then get all other ingredients ready.
- In a pot heat oil over medium heat. Add shallot and lemongrass. Sauté until fragrant and golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, sauté 1-2 minutes. Add 2 tbsp Thai red curry paste, ½ tbsp turmeric, and a pinch of cardamom. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Add 1 can of coconut milk , chicken broth and 4-5 kefir lime leaves and bring to a simmer, stirring. Once gently simmering add 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar and soy sauce and 1 tbsp chili garlic paste.
- Add the prawns (or chicken or tofu) and gently simmer until cooked. Give a generous squeeze of lime.
- Drain the noodles. If serving all of the soup immediately, toss the noodles right into the pot and then serve.
- Garnish with fresh basil, pickled mustard greens, bean sprouts, thinly sliced red onion, lime wedge, or chopped green onions.
