3. Step-by-step Instructions for Making Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup

Preparing the Base

Sauté Thai Red Curry Paste

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the Thai red curry paste and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Mix in Coconut Milk and Broth

Add the coconut milk and vegetable or chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine with the curry paste and bring to a gentle simmer.

Add Vegetables and Protein

Stir in sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrots, snap peas, and your choice of protein such as sliced chicken, tofu, or shrimp. Let everything cook for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender and protein is cooked through.

Cook the Noodles

Meanwhile, cook your rice noodles separately according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Combine and Finish

Add the cooked noodles to the soup. Season with fish sauce or soy sauce to taste, and squeeze in lime juice for brightness. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes to incorporate flavors.

4. Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the soup if necessary. The noodles may soak up some liquid upon storage, so adjust with additional broth before serving.

5. Serving Suggestions

Serve hot, garnished with fresh Thai basil, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges. For an extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped peanuts or fried shallots on top. Pair with a side of vegan vegetable soup or Reuben soup for a cozy meal combo. Want to elevate your kitchen game?
