Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh chopped cilantro
- Green onions
- Thai chilies
Instructions
- Heat oil and sauté vegetables: In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper and cook for about 4 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
- Add aromatics and curry paste: Stir in the minced garlic, fresh grated ginger, and Thai red curry paste. Cook for an additional minute to release their aromas while stirring continuously to avoid burning.
- Add liquids and bring to boil: Pour in the vegetable broth, coconut milk, and fish sauce. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring all ingredients are combined evenly.
- Cook shrimp and noodles: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp along with the rice noodles to the boiling broth. Allow them to cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and the noodles become tender.
- Finish with lime juice and serve: Stir in the fresh lime juice to brighten the flavors. Serve the soup immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro, green onions, and Thai chilies if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer not to use fish sauce, substitute it with organic soy sauce or gluten-free tamari for a similar depth of flavor.
- For the freshest taste and best texture, serve the soup immediately after cooking to prevent the noodles from becoming overly soft.
