Method

  1. Place the curry paste in a large saucepan or wok with the oil. Fry for 1 min until fragrant. Tip in the vegetable stock, coconut milk and brown sugar. Simmer for 3 mins.
  2. Add the noodles, carrots and Chinese leaf and simmer for 4-6 mins, until all are tender. Mix in beansprouts and tomatoes. Add lime juice to taste and some extra seasoning, if you like. Spoon into bowls and sprinkle with spring onions and coriander.

Curry pastes

Many curry pastes contain dried shrimp and fish sauce. Read the labels carefully if you want to make this a vegetarian dish. If you're cooking this for meat-eaters, try adding shredded leftover roast chicken.

    I used 400 ml coconut milk and 500 ml stock. That was perfect. You might want to try that instead.

    Very nice. I use 400ml coconut milk and 500ml stock as well. I also used a pack of stir fry veg (was being lazy). Very good.

    Taste was amazing! Better then any noodle soups Ive tried in restaurants! Will be making this again, maybe with some added chicken although it was great with just the veg!

    The taste was good but I would have to disagree with previous comments recommending the use of less stock. This resulted in a thick sauce, rather than "broth" and ruined the dish somewhat. I will stick to the recipe next time.

    So delicious, I added some finely chopped chillis to add some extra heat and the spicy/sweet combination is perfect! Would definitely recommend this!

    Made this according to the recipe and it was absolutely delicious. I was a little hesitant that the veg would all cook in the given times but providing your chopping is fine enough then the times work out perfectly. I thoroughly recommend.

    Made this for my husband & I but added large prawns to the broth, worked very well & was enjoyed very much, will make this again, did not add as much stock as the recipe states, making the broth a bit thicker & the dish was more substantial

    This is delicious! I changed the veg a bit using up what I had in the fridge, and added a chilli for extra heat (we like it hot). Also excellent for a cold remedy! Yummy!
