Spicy Thai Noodle Soup Ingredients
This Spicy Thai noodle soup comes together really fast and includes fresh raw ingredients.
Besides you can adjust the ingredients you add when it’s time to enjoy the soup.
Vegetarian or with meat/seafood
The soup is Meatless, Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Lactose-free and can be turned Vegan if you use non-egg noodles.
You can also prepare this spicy Thai noodle soup with chicken or shrimps/prawns too.
In that case, add the cut meat /seafood to the pot after having stir-fried the red curry paste and cook it then through.
Stir Fry Pastes
The Thai red curry paste is a major ingredient in this soup, as well as ginger and garlic finely chopped or in paste form.
Liquids and Seasoning
The coconut milk and broth make up the soup, while the fish sauce and brown sugar add more flavor depths and a Thai touch to the soup.
Noodles
Use Asian chow/low mein noodles in this soup, not Italian spaghetti, because they taste differently.
I prefer the soup with egg noodles but you are free to try this soup with rice noodles too.
Fresh Vegetables
Fresh spring onions and cabbage are added fresh and raw to the bowl with the soup and noodles.
You can also add sprouted mung beans, avocado or some chopped banana flowers if you feel adventurous.
Garnish
For the garnish, you can choose to add a combination of red chili flakes, cut green chilis, cilantro, crushed peanuts, cut green spring onion stalks and a drizzle of Lime Juice.
All these ingredients turn the Thai noodle soup spicy with a touch of sweet, salty and sour.
