Ingredients
- – 8 oz (227 g) flat rice noodles, medium width, same as used for Pad Thai
- – 2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil
- – 3 tbsp (45 ml) minced shallots
- – 3 garlic cloves, minced
- – 2 tsp (10 ml) minced ginger
- – 2 Thai Chiles, split in half lengthwise
- – 5 tbsp (75 ml) red curry paste
- – 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) beef stock
- – 1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce
- – 30 oz (850 g) coconut milk, 2 cans
- – 3 makrut lime leaves or the juice of two limes
- – 1 cup (150 g) baby corn, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- – 2 cups (300 g) cooked shredded beef
- – salt and pepper to taste
- – cilantro leaves
- – crispy shallots
- – lime wedges
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add the noodles, cover, and take off the heat. Let the noodles soak and soften for around 8 to 10 minutes. Drain them and put them aside.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add the shallots, garlic, ginger, chiles, and curry paste, and cook until aromatic, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour in the beef stock and soy sauce, and bring the mixture to a boil, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium and mix in the coconut milk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently crush the makrut lime leaves in your hand and add them to the soup (or mix in the lime juice).
- Once the soup starts to simmer, which will take 2 to 3 minutes, add the baby corn and shredded beef, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the noodles and continue to simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes. Discard the chile halves.
- Adjust the seasonings, then garnish with cilantro leaves and crispy shallots. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, swap shredded beef with tofu or your favorite veggies for a new flavor twist.
- For a spicier kick, add more Thai chiles or a splash of sriracha sauce to the soup.
- Adjust seasonings to taste before serving, and add a squeeze of lime juice for a refreshing burst of flavor.
