When cooking the onion, garlic, red pepper part of the recipe, I recommend sautéing onion first for a minute with salt, then add garlic and a pinch more salt and let it caramelize for richer flavor. My family of four has requested this to be our regular Friday night dinner Thank you, Chungah! Any leftovers soup and rice both store well separately. Oh sorry to hear that. 1. You can use ramen noodles from ramen packets.
That’s the only brand my local grocery store carries! Every person I have made it for has loved it! And now my house smells like my favorite Thai restaurant! We embarked on a plant-based diet recently so I modified this by using vegetable stock and shitake mushrooms instead of chicken. Without the expense of going to a restaurant! Made it twice in a week. I just made this tonight, and it was SO good!
The main ingredients of this Thai noodle soup are crispy pork belly pieces, pork offal and eggs. Excellent
Love your website!
It looks really delicious.
We substituted to vegetable broth and shrimps/squid instead. I didn’t have curry paste so I subbed 3 tsp red curry powder and added more ginger and the taste was fantastic. Excellent recipe! Or did you just put all the ingredients in raw (except the coconut milk and noodles I assume?)
The best part was the mei fun noodles and all of those fresh herbs. I also added carrots and will add some mushrooms next time I think they’d be great in this soup. . Hi Bee. For those that want a more authentic flavored curry paste without making it yourself, Mae Ploy brand is great, but be warned that it’s quite spicy! My entire family absolutely LOVED this soup. I doubled the recipe but used only one can of coconut milk and only three Tbsp of red curry.
Awesome recipe I tweaked it by increasing the recipe 4 cups of chicken broth and 4 cups of vegitable broth I used fresh jalapenos and pepercinis and culantro from the garden, in place of bell peppers.
I used my food processor to cut up the peppers and onion so they weren’t chunky in the soup, which I think made it better. Your website is the first place I go when thinking about what to cook….thank you for another great recipe!
Thank you very much for the recipe! I added some chill oil because I wanted the flavor to be be more bold and i wanted it spicy. SO so so so good!!
I used the Maesri brand of curry paste. I’m thinking of adding Bok Choi. If I’m out of noodles, it works wonderfully with jasmine rice. It was a little messy with the noodles on a spoon. Does any one know if the soup can be frozen (without the noodles)and used later on?
For more general information on cookies see http://www.aboutcookies.org. I also doubled the spices as well as the coconut milk and curry, came out perfect with so much flavor!! Do you think it’ll work out? Cant wait to report back. Big fan! I didn’t know about ‘Kaffir’ being a racial slur. This was absolutely amazing!! Very easy to make and all of the ingredients were easy to find! Guay Tiew Look Chin Plaa (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวลูกชิ้นปลา) Soup Type – Clear. My husband cannot get enough red curry.
TY. I made this tonight, easy ingredients and so easy to prep. For a healthy meal and easy weeknight dinner, I recommend the following recipes. I added another tbsp or so of the the red curry paste. Have fun and let us know how it turns out!
I added an extra teaspoon of brown sugar too, but I didn’t pack my first tablespoon so that may be why I thought it was still needed. Anyway, my little kids (ages 4 and 2) loved this soup. Slight alterations for a vegan version: I put a little bit of the chicken broth in while my chicken was cooking so that it wouldn’t be dry. This was amazing! Awesome! We LOVED this dish. We haven’t tried freezing this ourselves, so I can’t answer with certainty. I always just add whatever veggies I have in the fridge-this recipe is so easy to adapt. Do you have any recommendations for this? Comfort food and so amazing. Thai red curry soup was my favorite. I cruised your site a few days ago, saw the recipe and had all the ingredients; a good omen. These would be great accompaniments: I would more aptly do it in the winter months next time. My son, who had never had Thai food loved it. For the rice noodles, would I be using 4 oz total or 8 oz? I see it says serve immediately. I made this and it was delicious/อร่อย.
I threw few lime leaves in there and a smidge of cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. Thank you for posting this recipe!
I didn’t have enough of the Gourmet Garden brand red Chile paste I like, so I substituted sriracha sauce for the rest. Thank you for your feedback! My 16 year old son has been my taste tester for years because he never says no to spice, authentic foods – pretty much anything.
Yes, that’s the best way to do it and assures the integrity of the recipe. I’m curious to see how it tasted without it.
I used thigh meat which has a lot more flavor and is more forgiving when cooked longer. If you skip adding the noodles, it freezes well and defrosts easily in portions. So good. I also doubled the coconut milk and all the spices. because they tend to absorb too much broth…otherwise I’d say the crockpot is a yes! Holy CRAP this was good! you guys seem fixed on the idea of three tablespoons of curry paste. I have never cooked with curry but I have curry powder. This has become a weekly staple. I did use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken I had on hand and lite coconut milk, but I can’t imagine it took away from the flavor. window.adthrive.siteAds.targeting.push( {key: 'at_custom_1', value: 'myxx_on'} );
Gravy is usually prepared by adding potato starch or corn starch in the sauce during cooking. We love Thai food as well but no restaurants around us. Then add red pepper. Thank you! Next time, I am going to make a double or triple batch and freeze the rest, because it makes GREAT leftovers. And I thought I had fresh cilantro, but it turned into parsley when I wasn’t looking.
I used regular basil, but it doesn’t give quite the same flavor and I think it is more mild. We made this for dinner tonight and it was delightful! Question: how many noodles? I’ll definitely be making this again. It was good and flavorful! I did not add all the red curry paste it called for because we can’t take things hot but it is delicious with ham and not too spicy. Sukiyaki is a kind of Japanese hot-pot.
If so, how many oz.? Thx for the recipe! That’s great Diana, so happy to hear you enjoyed it. Your email address will not be published. Next time I might boil the noodles separately and just add the exact quantity to each bowl as there were quite a bit of noodles.
It might be because some packets of Thai red curry paste are three tablespoons inside… i doubt its because they are fixed on the number 3. Who cares about the differences! After tasting I also added a little extra curry paste. Thanks. This recipe is only 486 calories per serving.
Also found Concentrated curry paste Hot from Patakas. The recipe calls for just a handful of main ingredients. Even the picky kid eaters. Spicy Thai sukiyaki sauce can be added to heat it up. Can’t wait to try it,Thanks.
Overall, this is an awesome base recipe for any kind of curry dish you like. Thanks a lot for the recipe!
First off, I freakin’ LOVE Thai food! This sounds sooo good that I think I’m going to have to go my local Asian store and lay in a few supplies and make a pot this weekend! It looked just like your picture (which by the way, kudos to your photographer). My husband who is a meat snd potatoes guy LOVES this soup. I think I’ll try cutting the chicken into dinner pieces (like the restaurants do). I really want to make this today, but my family and I do not like coconut so does this coconut milk taste like coconut and if it does, what can you substitute for the coconut milk can you use have cream instead? I tried red Thai curry chicken from a different website and it did not even come close to this soup I was so sorely let down and dissapointed. Added sriracha on the side. Suggestions please . If you reserve one (tea)cup of this recipe then your child would have enough. It’s hard to say, Sylvanna – I have never tried or seen that product before! Looks good can’t wait to make it. I followed the package instructions and soaked the noodles in hot water for 5 minutes, drained and rinsed them, and then added them to the soup at the end. Boat noodles refer to noodles with beef or pork in a thick brown broth which contains cinnamon, star anise and blood.

Easy too. I made this tonight and it was a huge hit. Check out my Recipe Index, follow me on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and sign up for FREE email newsletter. I’m at looking to make this vegan.
Loved it!!! Amazed at the comments considering my fiance and I noticed the miss right away. The only thing is I did not find Red curry paste. I’ve tried to make ThaiCurry several times and I’m never able to get the flavor as robust and rich as it is in the restaurants. Thai noodle soup is a popular street food in Thailand. Priceless AND delicious! Thanks for the reminder. Made this soup tonight with shrimp instead of chicken and it was AMAZING! Where is all the sodium coming from? I’m personally vegetarian (although I do make an exception for things like broth and sauce) so I sub with dried shitake and it’s still so good. It took me a long time as the chicken breats had bone in. Can I use angel hair pasta instead of rice noodles? I used Maesri brand red curry paste for the soup. I looks amazing. Absolutely!
First time, we tried it with tofu and shrimp and it was really great !
First time ever making any type of curry soup and I was nervous, but damn.
I eat it in Thai restaurants but would love to know a substitute for the fish sauce. Turkey and fish work well also. Even two of my little boys liked it. I would advise to try to find the highest quality curry paste that you can, nice quality = more spice, and richer flavors.
