Ingredients
Steps
Fry a handful of the noodles in hot oil until crispy and golden, then drain on paper towels for the topping.
Cook the remaining noodles in boiling water according to package directions, then drain and divide among bowls.
In a pot, fry the red curry paste and turmeric in a little oil for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add half the coconut milk and simmer until it starts to split and thicken slightly.
Add the chicken, remaining coconut milk, stock, fish sauce, and sugar and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Ladle the curry and chicken over the noodles in the bowls.
Top each bowl with crispy fried noodles, and serve with lime, pickled mustard greens, shallots, and cilantro.
