  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 14 ounces coconut milk can

Notes

To enhance the flavor, consider adding a few kaffir lime leaves or lemongrass stalks while simmering the broth. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red curry paste according to your preference. For a richer taste, you can use full-fat coconut milk. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; however, the noodles may absorb the broth, so you might need to add a little extra broth when reheating.
