Method
-
- Prepare the Rice Noodles:
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add Thai Red Curry Paste:
- Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for a minute, allowing the flavors to meld and the paste to become fragrant.
- Add Coconut Milk and Broth:
- Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add Tofu and Vegetables:
- Add cubed tofu and thinly sliced mixed vegetables to the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
- Season the Soup:
- Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice to the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Assemble the Soup:
- Divide the cooked rice noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the Thai red curry soup over the noodles.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish the soup with fresh cilantro leaves and red chili slices (if using). Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Pro Tips- Curry Paste Varieties: Experiment with different Thai red curry paste brands for varying spice levels and flavor profiles.
- Tofu Texture: Press tofu before cubing to remove excess moisture, allowing it to absorb more flavors during cooking.
- Noodle Soaking: Soak rice noodles in hot water for a quicker preparation or follow package instructions for optimal texture.
- Garnish Freshness: Add lime wedges and extra cilantro just before serving to enhance the soup’s freshness.
