Thai coconut & veg broth

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 ½ tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste
  • 1 tsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 L Vegetable Stock
  • 400 ml Coconut Milk
  • 2 tsp Brown Sugar
  • 175 g Egg Noodles
  • 2 Carrots
  • 1 Chinese Leaf
  • 150 g Bean Sprouts
  • 6 Cherry Tomatoes
  • Juice of 1 Lime
  • 3 sliced thinly Spring Onions
  • Handful Coriander

Instructions

2 steps · ~30 minutes total

  1. Step 1

    Place the curry paste in a large saucepan or wok with the oil. Fry for 1 min until fragrant. Tip in the vegetable stock, coconut milk and brown sugar. Simmer for 3 mins.

    15 minutes
    Test the oil temperature with a small piece of food — it should sizzle immediately.
  2. Step 2

    Add the noodles, carrots and Chinese leaf and simmer for 4-6 mins, until all are tender. Mix in beansprouts and tomatoes. Add lime juice to taste and some extra seasoning, if you like. Spoon into bowls and sprinkle with spring onions and coriander.

    15 minutes
    Keep the heat low — gentle bubbles, not a rolling boil.
