Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice chicken breasts into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Boil broth and noodles in a large pot for 3 minutes until noodles are just tender.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a separate skillet over medium-high. Fry a handful of noodles in batches, 1 minute per side, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    In the same skillet, add curry paste and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken pieces and coat with paste, cooking 4 minutes until cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Pour boiled broth and noodles into the skillet with chicken. Stir in coconut milk and fish sauce. Simmer 2 minutes until curry is glossy.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lime juice over the bowl. Taste and adjust fish sauce or lime to your preference.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle into bowls, top with crispy noodles and scallions, and serve immediately.
