Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
  • ½ cup onion
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1 Thai bird’s eye chili optional
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 3.5- ounce rice noodles
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 lime juice
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large pot. Sauté onions until they turn soft and translucent.
  • Add in fresh minced garlic, ginger, fresh Thai red chillies and Thai red curry paste. Mix well and cook until the curry paste is fragrant.
  • Pour low-sodium chicken broth along with water and bring it to a boil.
  • Add cooked and shredded chicken, freshly squeezed lime juice, and rice noodles.
  • Rice noodles cook pretty fast; do not overcook noodles.
  • Reduce the heat and stir in coconut milk. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Add salt and pepper to taste, fresh basil, fresh cilantro and green onions.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
  • Serve hot immediately with extra wedges of lime (I used a small lemon for garnish).

Notes

  1. For the best flavours and taste, use fresh ginger and garlic.
  2. Some brands of red curry paste are spicier; please taste and adjust the amount as per spice tolerance levels.
  3. Use low-sodium chicken broth to make the broth rich in taste but less salty.
  4. Do not overcook noodles; cook noodles al dente. Remember, noodles will continue to cook in the broth.
  5. Soup will thicken as it sits. Keep extra broth on hand when needed.
