→ For Serving
14 -
Fresh basil, chopped (¼ cup)
15 -
Cilantro leaves, freshly chopped (½ cup)
16 -
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
17 -
3 green onions, chopped thinly
# Instructions:
01 -
In the same pot, toss in the garlic, onions, and bell pepper. Keep stirring until they're soft and smell amazing, which only takes a few minutes.
02 -
Warm up the olive oil over medium heat in a big pot. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the chicken chunks, then toss them in. Let them cook until golden for a couple of minutes, then set them aside.
03 -
Stir in the red curry paste and ginger. Cook briefly—just enough for the spices to bloom, no more than a minute.
04 -
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Scrape the bottom of the pot to mix in all the browned bits. They pack in deep flavor!
05 -
Pop the chicken back into the pot. Let it reach a boil, then lower it to a simmer. Give it about 10 minutes to cook through, stirring every now and then.
06 -
Toss the noodles in with a splash of fish sauce and a little brown sugar. Stir occasionally as it simmers until the noodles get soft, which takes roughly 5 minutes.
07 -
Once off the heat, sprinkle in the green onions, cilantro, basil, and lime juice. Taste and adjust with more seasoning if needed.
08 -
Scoop the soup into bowls while it's piping hot. Grab a spoon and dig in!
# Notes:
