Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Serving bowls
  • Ladle

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp red curry paste
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 500 ml vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 200 g rice noodles
  • 200 g chicken breast sliced
  • 2 medium bell peppers sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Optional Toppings

  • fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • red chili sliced, for extra heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the broth

  • In a large pot, sauté the red curry paste over medium heat for one minute to release its aromas.
  • Stir in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Cook ingredients

  • Add the sliced chicken breast, bell peppers, and broccoli florets to the simmering broth and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions.

Assemble and Serve

  • Divide the cooked rice noodles among serving bowls, then ladle the hot soup over the noodles.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and optional toppings like fresh basil leaves and sliced red chilies before serving.

Notes

Adjust the amount of red curry paste to your desired spice level; for a richer flavor, you can pan-fry the chicken separately before adding it to the soup. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or your favorite plant-based protein.
