Ingredients
3Tbspolive oil
1small onion, finely chopped
4Tbspfreshly grated ginger, from about 2 sticks
4garlic cloves, minced
1tspmild curry powder
5Cwater
3Ccoconut milk, I used canned
1/3Cfreshly squeezed lime juice
1/2Cfreshly squeezed lemon juice
1Tbspsea salt, to taste
120grice noodles/vermicelli or angel hair pasta, 4 oz or 2 cake squares
In a large pot on medium heat, cook onion in the oil for a few minutes until it wilts but doesn't brown. Then add ginger, garlic, and curry powder, and stir until well incorporated. Again, do not allow it to brown, you want to stir them in to encourage the flavors to come out.
Add water and coconut milk and stir to combine. Then add the lime and lemon juices. Continue cooking on medium heat until soup comes to a gentle boil.
Add salt, stir, and taste to make sure it's flavored to your liking. Start with less and increase if needed. 1 tablespoon was the perfect amount for me.
Place the rice noodles in the soup, making sure they're fully submerged, cover pot with lid and turn off heat. Leave pot covered for 4-5 minutes - until noodles are soft. Remove lid and very gently separate the noodles using either a fork or chopsticks.
Pour soup into bowls and garnish with red pepper flakes (as much as desired - I went heavy on mine but none for the kids!) and chopped green onion.
Notes
Re: the noodles - be careful not to overcook the noodles so they don't break in the soup. Aim for slightly softer than al dente.I've also used ramen noodles with this soup and it's so delicious!! In case you don't have rice or angel hair pasta, ramen or any other fine pasta will do :) Use as much or as little of the crushed red pepper flakes as you like. I include it at the end of the instructions because my kids can't handle the heat, and some people don't like spicy foods either.
