Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups chicken broth or stock
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 6 oz rice noodles or ramen noodles
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh)
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro, Thai basil, or mint)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh chili or chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions until softened, then add garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in red curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add sliced chicken and stir to coat. Cook until no longer pink.
  4. Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir in fish sauce and sugar.
  5. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  6. Meanwhile, cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  7. Add lime juice to the soup and adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Divide noodles into bowls. Ladle hot soup over the noodles.
  9. Top with fresh herbs, green onions, and chilies if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Substitute shrimp or tofu for chicken.
  • Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • Use light coconut milk for a lighter version, but full-fat gives best texture.
  • Store soup and noodles separately to maintain texture.
  • Start with less curry paste if unsure about spice level.
