Curry soup

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or peanut oil
  • 1 medium shallot finely chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves finely minced

  • Add the coconut milk, water and salt and let it simmer over medium to low heat for 7-8 minutes;
  • Add broccoli and mushrooms, cook for 1-2 minutes over medium heat, then bring in the bok choy and tofu; give it a stir then add the noodles; let them cook together for a few seconds, then turn off the heat;
  • Drizzle over the fresh lime juice and put the green chilies on top, if using;

Notes

  1. To be more efficient, prepare the rice noodles while the curry soup is simmering.
  2. The curry paste is usually quite salty; so, better taste the curry before adding salt to it.
  3. Don't overcook the vegetables; they'll turn mushy and tasteless.
  4. Fry the tofu cubes for more crunchiness.
