Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk, 13.5 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 6 ounces rice noodles, cooked according to package directions
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place a large pot over medium heat and warm it for about 1 minute. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
  2. Add the sliced yellow onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and Thai red curry paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, and maple syrup or honey until smooth.
  6. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer, then add the cooked shredded chicken, broccoli florets, and snap peas.
  7. Simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still bright green.
  8. Stir in the lime juice and taste the broth. Add a small pinch of salt if needed.
  9. Divide the cooked rice noodles among 4 bowls.
  10. Ladle the hot broth, chicken, and vegetables over the noodles.
  11. Top with cilantro, thinly sliced red onion, and lime wedges. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Cook the noodles separately so they do not absorb too much broth.
  • Add lime juice at the end for the freshest flavor.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the smoothest, richest broth.
  • Store broth and noodles separately for the best leftovers.
