Ingredients
Scale
Broth and Seasonings
- 1l low-salt chicken stock
- 2 tsp Thai red curry paste
- 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce
- juice of 2 limes
- pinch brown sugar
Noodles and Vegetables
- 100g flat rice noodles
- 150g pack shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 125g pack baby corn, sliced
Protein and Garnish
- 2 skinless salmon fillets, sliced
- small bunch coriander, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the broth: Pour the low-salt chicken stock into a large pan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, stir in the Thai red curry paste until fully dissolved and evenly mixed into the broth.
- Cook the noodles: Add the flat rice noodles to the boiling curry broth and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the noodles to absorb the flavors.
- Add vegetables: Tip in the sliced shiitake mushrooms and baby corn, then continue cooking for 2 more minutes until the vegetables soften slightly but retain some bite.
- Cook the salmon: Add the sliced skinless salmon fillets to the simmering soup, cooking gently for 3 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through and opaque.
- Finish the soup: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice, reduced-salt soy sauce, and a pinch of brown sugar to balance the flavors. Mix thoroughly to combine.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup evenly into 4 bowls and sprinkle the chopped coriander over the top just before serving to add a fresh, herbal aroma and color.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken stock and salmon with vegetable stock and tofu or a plant-based seafood alternative.
- Adjust the red curry paste quantity to your preferred spice level.
- Flat rice noodles cook quickly but check package instructions as times may vary slightly.
- Use fresh coriander for best flavor; cilantro can be substituted if coriander is unavailable.
- To make this gluten-free, ensure soy sauce is tamari or a gluten-free alternative.
