Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil noodles in salted water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add chicken and shrimp, stirring to coat in curry paste. Cook until shrimp just turn pink and chicken is opaque, 4–5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add noodles and greens, stirring until greens wilt, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and season with salt and a pinch of white pepper. Divide between bowls.

  6. Step 6

    Top each bowl with fried shallots and serve immediately.
