Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Yellow curry paste
• 4 cups Coconut milk
• 4 cups Chicken stock
• 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 400 grams Egg noodles
• 2 small, thinly sliced Shallots
• 1 cup, chopped Pickled mustard greens
• 2 pieces, cut into wedges Lime
• 0.5 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 1 cup Crispy fried noodles
• 2 tablespoons Chili oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the curry paste and turmeric powder, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the pot and coat them in the curry paste. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Step 3

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 4

Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar. Simmer for another 5 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks, then return it to the pot.

Step 5

While the soup is simmering, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

In a small skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Fry a handful of cooked noodles until crispy and golden. Set aside for topping.

Step 7

To serve, divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot soup and chicken over the noodles.

Step 8

Top each bowl with crispy fried noodles, sliced shallots, pickled mustard greens, lime wedges, cilantro, and a drizzle of chili oil.
