Ingredients
1 Stalk Lemongrass, tough outer layer removed
2-3 Red Thai Chilies, seeded
2 Shallots, halved
8 Cloves Garlic
12″ Piece Piece of Ginger, peeled and sliced
1/4 Cup Cilantro, stems only
1 Tbsp Ground Coriander
1 Tbsp Ground Turmeric
1 Tsp Curry Powder
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
28 Ounces Unsweetened Coconut Milk
2 Cups Chicken Broth
1 1/2 Pounds Boneless, skinless Chicken Thights, halved
1 Pound Chinese Egg Noodles
3 Tbsp Fish Sauce
1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
Kosher Salt
Sliced Red Onion, Bean Sprouts, Cilantro, Lime Wedges, Chili oil for toppings
Directions
- Prepare lemongrass water by, placing the thinly sliced lemongrass in a small bowl, then pour ½ cup of boiling water over it and allow to steep for at least 10 minutes. Then remove the lemongrass, reserving the water.
- Puree the chilies, shallots, garlic, ginger, cilantro stems, coriander, turmeric, curry, and 2 tablespoons of the lemongrass water. Process until smooth, add more lemongrass water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
- In a large pot over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the spicy curry puree you just made, and cook 4-6 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the coconut milk and broth. Bring to a boil and add the chicken. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the chicken until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and allow to cool slightly, then shred the meat.
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions.
- Add the fish sauce, sugar, and chicken to the soup. Season with salt, if needed. Divide the soup and noodles among bowls and serve with the desired toppings. Enjoy!
