Preparation

Preparing the Rice

Rinse the rice

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Boil rice and water

In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water and bring to a boil.

💡 For extra zest, add a splash of lime juice to the rice cooking water.

Simmer covered

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the water is absorbed.

⚠ Avoid cooking the rice for too long, as it may become mushy.

Preparing the Noodles

Cook the noodles

Cook rice noodles according to package instructions; drain and set aside.

Toss with oil

Toss noodles with a teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Set aside

Keep the noodles aside until ready to use.

Cooking Process

Sauteing the Curry Paste

In a large pot, sauté the red curry paste over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Use medium heat to release the aroma without burning.

Simmering the Soup

Add coconut milk, broth, fish sauce, and brown sugar to the pot; bring to a simmer.

Simmer on low to medium heat for 10-15 minutes.

Cooking the Vegetables

Add the broccoli and bell pepper; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
