Delicious Mee Ka Tee Recipe: Comforting Thai Red Curry Soup
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons Red Curry Paste (Ensure it’s gluten-free)
- 2 cans Coconut Milk (Use full-fat for the best flavor)
- 3 cups Water
- 1 pound Ground Pork (Can substitute with chicken or turkey)
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind Paste (Lime juice can substitute)
- 1 tablespoon Palm Sugar (Brown sugar or honey can be used)
- 2 tablespoons Fish Sauce (Use soy sauce for vegetarian option)
- 1 cup Roasted Peanuts (Substitute with sunflower seeds for allergies)
- 3 large Eggs (Can omit or replace with soft-boiled egg)
- 8 ounces Dry Rice Noodles (Rice vermicelli is a good substitute)
Instructions
- Soak the dry rice noodles in a large bowl with room-temperature water for 20 to 30 minutes until soft.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until fully combined and set aside.
- Heat half of the coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring in red curry paste for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the rest of the coconut milk, an equal amount of water, and ground pork. Season with fish sauce, palm sugar, and tamarind, then simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Gently stir in beaten eggs into the simmering broth to create soft strands; boil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in crushed peanuts, remove from heat, and combine well.
- In a separate pot, boil water and cook drained rice noodles for 2-3 minutes until tender but firm.
- Drain noodles and rinse under cold water; lightly toss with oil to prevent sticking.
- Serve noodles in bowls and ladle hot soup over them. Garnish with fresh herbs, lime wedges, and chili flakes.
Notes
- Adjust spice level by adding more or less red curry paste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dish can be made vegetarian by omitting the pork and fish sauce.
