Instructions

Curry

  1. Heat oil in large Dutch oven until shimmering. Add the onions (4) and ginger (4 Tbsp), sauté for 5 minutes.

  2. Add red curry paste (¼ cup) and panang curry paste (¼ cup). Stir and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Add coconut milk (4 cans), sugar (½ cup), soy sauce (½ cup), fish sauce (½ cup), and sambal oelek (¼ cup). Simmer on low while you cook the chicken breasts.

  4. Heat 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large saucepan on high until shimmering.

  5. Carefully place each chicken breast in the hot oil. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. Once chicken is cooked through, chop into 1 inch cubes and add to the curry. Simmer for 1 to 2 hours.

Prep the noodles

  1. While the curry simmers, soak the noodles in cold water for up to an hour, then drain.

  2. In a large bowl or medium sized pot, cover the noodles with boiling water, allowing to sit for 2 minutes, before draining again.

Assemble the Curry Bowls

  1. To assemble the curry bowls, ladle about 3/4 cup noodles into each soup bowl. Top with 1 cup curry, then garnish with the toppings: cilantro, lime wedges, crunchy noodles, red cabbage, carrot, and red bell pepper.

  2. Serve and enjoy!
