- 2lb / 4 chicken thighs, chopped
- 1 bags tofu puffs
- Green onions for garnish
- Cilantro for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large pot, heat oil. Add onions, garlic, red chilies, lemongrass, and red curry. Cook for 5-8min or until onions are softened. Add chicken broth, simmer for 30min.
- Strain out aromatics. Add in coconut milk, fish sauce, chicken, and tofu puffs. Simmer until chicken is cooked through.
- Add in lime juice and garnishes.
Thoughts
Yummy, next time, I would double the soup and reduce the fish sauce to 1 tbs. It pairs well with noodles or rice. When I made this recipe, I added in lots of extra protein which also threw off the soup ratio.
