Thai Coconut Curry Vegetable Noodle Soup Vegetarian Khao Soi Instant Pot Noodle Soup Recipes

KHAO SOI ( THAI COCONUT NOODLE SOUP)

Steps:

• Start a pot of boiling water, to cook the rice noodles and make sure to follow your package directions, as rice noodles can differ. Drain and rinse with water to help prevent them from sticking together. A little oil to coat, will help here, or if you time it right, you can add it directly to the soup.
• While water is boiling, prep the shallot, garlic, lemongrass, red bell pepper, then get all other ingredients ready by the stove.
• In a medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallot and lemongrass. Saute until fragrant and golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, saute 1-2 minutes. Add red curry paste, turmeric, and a pinch of cardamom. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk , chicken broth and kefir lime leaves and bring to a simmer, stirring. Once gently simmering add the bell pepper, fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce and chili garlic paste.
• Add the prawns (or chicken or crispy tofu) and gently simmer until cooked. Give a generous squeeze of lime. Taste, adding more lime/salt/ red curry paste if necessary.
• Drain the noodles. If serving all of the soup immediately, toss the noodles right into the pot and then serve. Alternatively, divide noodles into the bowls and ladle the flavorful soup over top- a bit easier to handle.
• Garnish with fresh basil, pickled mustard greens, crispy noodles, bean sprouts, thinly sliced red onion, lime wedge, or chopped scallions.

THAI COCONUT CURRY VEGETABLE NOODLE SOUP | VEGETARIAN KHAO SOI | INSTANT POT NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Set Instant Pot in the saute mode and add oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, onion, and green onion. Saute for two to three minutes.
• Now add the Thai green curry paste and water. Mix well and make sure you scrape the bottom. Let it cook for 30 seconds, and then add the salt and sugar and mix well. Next, add the chopped vegetables and mix well. Now turn off the Instant Pot.
• Add the remaining 2.75 cups of water and the dried udon noodles. Make sure you immerse the noodles well inside the water.
• Close the Instant Pot. Make sure the vent is in the sealing position. Select manual/pressure cook and set the time to 3-minutes at high-pressure mode. When the cooking is complete, quickly release the remaining pressure. Carefully open the lid after releasing the pressure, and this how the noodle soup will look.
• And mix the noodles gently. Set the Instant Pot in saute mode again.
• Now add 1 cup of coconut milk, the basil leaves, and the scallion's green part. Simmer it for two minutes, and that's it. While simmering, you can check for the seasoning, and if required, you can add more curry paste, the remaining 1/2 tbsp measure. I did add it. And if you feel the curry is spicy, add brown sugar and salt as needed. Serve immediately.
