Preparation
Step01
For the curry paste
Blitz together all the ingredients for the paste in a food
processor, adding a splash of water if needed to bring it together.
Step02
For the soup
Heat the oil in a large casserole dish set over a
moderate heat until hot.
Add the curry paste and fry for 5-6 minutes until
darkened and starting to dry out.
Whisk in the coconut milk and the stock.
Bring to the boil before reducing to a simmer.
Position the chicken pieces in the broth and
simmer steadily for about 30-35 minutes until cooked through.
Step03
For the crispy noodles
In the meantime, heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan to
180°C | 345F, using a thermometer to accurately gauge the temperature.
As the oil preheats, cook the noodles in
a large saucepan of salted, boiling water until just tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Drain well and dry on plenty of kitchen paper.
Toss in a mixing bowl with the cornflour to coat.
Deep-fry in the hot oil, in batches, until golden-brown and
crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully remove from the hot oil and drain on kitchen paper.
Step04
To serve
Once the chicken is cooked through, season
the broth with the fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, and some salt and pepper to
taste.
Ladle into bowls and top with the crispy noodles and
some coriander.
Serve with lime wedges, diced red onion, chilli
paste, and pickles on the side.
