![]() ![]() Tonight, I slowcooked a chciken breast in 3 c of broth and did everything else as stated in the recipe… just shredded the chicken and added it along with the broth it cooked in to the stockpot after cooking the peppers/onions and adding the coconut milk. I used my immersion blender to incorporate it all back in and it was fine, but I wrote that experiment off and unsuccessful. Time #2, tried cooking the chicken ahead of time in the croxkpot, with the broth and coconut milk, intending to saute the peppers and onions and curry paste right before serving – guess what! Coconut milk separates and gets weirdly “chunky” in the crockpot. Time #1, followed recipe exactly – the soup itself was amazing, however, we found the noodles “got in the way.” This soup is fabulous! Tonight was the third time I’ve made this and each time its been a little different. For leftovers, I just break some uncooked rice noodles into the soup and microwave it for several minutes, and it works great. I was also worried about the noodles becoming soggy for leftovers, so I only added enough for a couple servings, and then strategically fished them out of the broth for serving for dinner. ![]() My other substitutions included ground ginger, since I didn’t have any fresh on hand, bottled lime juice, and basil paste instead of fresh. I’ll definitely make it again, but I’m going to order some Mae Ploy curries online (my small town has basically no international options, sadly), which I’ve heard are stronger and more authentic. ![]() I probably ended up adding 4-5 Tbs of the curry, and while there was a nice amount of spice (not super spicy by any means though), my husband said that the curry taste was not very strong at all (and while I can currently taste some strong curry flavors, I did not taste any curry at all). I used A Taste of Thai red curry paste, which is pretty mild. I made it primarily for the spice factor for myself, as I recently had COVID and can only taste really strong things. My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. ![]()
