It can be topped with cooked chicken (such as the Chicken with Basil and Lime), seafood, or tofu. Try other traditional garnishes, such as scallions, cilantro, chiles, peanuts, or hard-cooked eggs. Ingredients 10 ounces Chinese wheat noodles (mein), or rice noodles 1 tablespoon safflower or peanut oil ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon Thai yellow curry paste (from one 4-ounce jar or can) 4 cups chicken stock 1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk 1 lemon Fresh basil, for garnish ½ English cucumber, thinly sliced, for garnish Directions Boil noodles according to package directions. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook curry paste, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in stock. Raise heat, and bring to a boil. Whisk in coconut milk. Cook until just simmering (do not boil). Cut lemon in half, and squeeze 1 half into saucepan. Cut remaining half into 4 wedges. Divide noodles and soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with basil, cucumber, and lemon wedges. Cook's Notes Noodles can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before using. Rate it Print
