Questions

Can I add the noodles directly to the soup?

Yes and no, it depends.  If you are planning on eating all or it right away, you can cook the noodles in the soup, but it is better to cook them separately.  This way the noodles won't overcook, clump, or absorb the broth if you are planning on having leftovers.

Can this recipe be frozen?

Yes, but it is best to freeze the broth without any noodles in it.  Allow it to fully cool, then pour into a freezer-friendly container.  This broth and shredded chicken can be stored in the freezer for up to one month.

How to Make

Gather all the ingredients.  Shred the cooked chicken, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, chop the onion, and juice the limes.

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat, then saute the onion for a few minutes.  Then, add the garlic, ginger, and lemongrass, and stir frequently for a couple of minutes.

Add the red curry paste and stir constantly for a minute.

Pour in the chicken broth.

Pour in the coconut milk.

Add the tamari (soy sauce), fish sauce, and brown sugar.  Stir and bring to a gentle boil.  Reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.

Remove the soup pot from the heat.  If desired skim the fat off the top and stir in the lime zest, freshly squeezed lime juice, and the chili paste.

In a separate pot, cook the noodles according to the directions on the package while the soup simmers.  Drain, rinse, and divide evenly into 4 soup bowls.  Place ½ cup of shredded chicken on top of the noodles in each bowl.

When ready to serve, ladle 1 cup of the hot soup broth over each bowl of noodles and chicken.  Garnish with green onion, lime wedges, fresh cilantro leaves, and lime zest.

• Want a different protein?  Try meatballs, shrimp, pork, beef, or tofu.
• Don't want coconut milk?  Leave it out.
• Don't want rice noodles?  Use any kind of noodle.
