Ingredients

Curry Paste
  • red curry paste

    2 tablespoons

  • soy sauce

    1 tablespoon

Vegetables
  • carrots

    2 medium-sized

  • potatoes

    2 medium-sized

  • green beans

    1 cup

  • baby corn

    1 cup

Spices and Seasonings
  • cumin seeds

    a pinch

  • coriander seeds

    a pinch

  • turmeric

    0.5 teaspoon

  • paprika

    0.5 teaspoon

Noodles
  • boiled egg noodles

    8 ounces

  • fried noodles

    2 cups


Instructions

  • 1
    In a large pan, heat oil and sauté the cumin seeds and coriander seeds until fragrant.

    Start by heating a couple of tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and coriander seeds. Let them sizzle and release their fragrance for about 10 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This step is crucial as it enhances the flavor of the dish.

  • 2
    Add the curry paste and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the paste is fragrant and slightly darkened.

    Add the red curry paste to the pan and stir constantly. You will notice the paste starting to darken in color and releasing a rich aroma, which indicates it's cooking properly. Be cautious not to burn the paste.

  • 3
    Add the sliced carrots, potatoes, green beans, and baby corn, then pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk.

    Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, green beans, and baby corn to the pan. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Make sure all the vegetables are covered with the liquid. If necessary, add a bit more broth or water.

  • 4
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

    Turn the heat up to high to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer. The simmering process allows the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to cook thoroughly. Check the vegetables for tenderness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily.

  • 5
    While the curry is simmering, boil the egg noodles according to the package instructions and fry additional noodles for garnish.

    In a separate pot, boil water and cook the egg noodles as instructed on the package. Typically, it involves boiling them for about 8-10 minutes or until they are slightly tender but still firm in the center. For the fried noodles, heat a significant amount of oil in a deep frying pan. Once the oil is hot, add a handful of noodles and fry until they are crispy and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining noodles.

  • 6
    To assemble the dish, place the boiled noodles in a bowl, add the curry, and top with fried noodles, a sprinkle of turmeric, and a dash of paprika.

    Once the curry and noodles are ready, it's time to assemble the Vegetable Khao Soi. Start by placing a portion of the boiled noodles into a bowl. Then, ladle the hot curry over the noodles, making sure to include a variety of vegetables in each serving. Top the curry with a generous amount of fried noodles for crunch. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of turmeric and paprika over the top for added flavor and color.

    I like this recipe, Vegetable Khao Soi! It look very good and yummy. I like the idea of put all vegetables in the curry, it's healthy. But I miss fish or seafood, I wish I can add some shrimp or salmon. The gluten from noodles is problem for me, maybe I can change to glutten-free noodles? I love the crispy fried noodles on top, make me want to try. I need to practice my English to explain more, but I hope you understand. The recipe not too hard to make, I like that.

  • AishaP90

    I've got to say, this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe is a real game-changer - it's like a curry, but not as I know it. The use of red curry paste gives it a distinctly Thai flavour, which I was a bit sceptical about at first, but it really works. I love how the recipe is packed with all sorts of delicious veg, and the boiled egg noodles and crispy fried noodles add a great texture. My only suggestion would be to add some extra spices to give it a bit more of an Indian kick - you know, a dash of cumin, some coriander, that sort of thing. Also, thankfully, this recipe is nut-free, so it's a great option for me. Overall, though, it's a top-notch recipe that's well worth trying - just be careful not to burn that curry paste, it can get away from you in a hurry!

    I must say that this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe is quite intriguing, offering a rich and complex flavor profile that I believe would pair exceptionally well with a variety of craft beers. The use of red curry paste, coconut milk, and an assortment of vegetables creates a harmonious and savory broth. However, I do have some concerns regarding the gluten content of certain ingredients, such as the soy sauce, which may not be suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance. To make this recipe more inclusive, I would recommend using gluten-free soy sauce or tamari instead. Additionally, the traditional Dutch penchant for heartiness and comfort food is somewhat catered to by the use of boiled egg noodles and crispy fried noodles, which add satisfying texture to the dish. Overall, with some minor substitutions and adjustments, I believe this recipe has the potential to become a staple in my culinary repertoire.

    I must admit, this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe is a bit of a departure from my usual beef-heavy, dairy-laden diet, but I'll give credit where credit is due. The flavors in this curry noodle soup are undoubtedly rich and complex, and I appreciate the effort to incorporate a variety of textures with the boiled and fried noodles. However, as a self-proclaimed carnivore, I couldn't help but feel like something was missing - perhaps a nice pork belly or beef brisket to really make this dish shine. The turmeric and paprika add a nice touch, but I'd argue that a dark chocolate-esque depth of flavor is still lacking (yes, I'm that guy who thinks chocolate can elevate any dish). All in all, not bad, but I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers - or in this case, fried noodles.

    I like this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe. It is not traditional Danish food, but I like to try new things. The recipe is not too hard to make and it has many vegetables. I like that it does not have strong-smelling foods like blue cheese. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I would make it again, but next time I might add some seafood like shrimp or fish to make it more interesting.

  • ZeeSaeed

    The Vegetable Khao Soi, a **beautiful union of flavors and textures**, has touched my heart with its **warm and inviting aroma**. I appreciate the **care** that goes into preparing each component of this dish, from the **gentle sizzle of cumin seeds** to the **loving preparation of the crispy fried noodles**. However, I must acknowledge that **my gentle stomach**, sensitive to spicy foods, found the red curry paste to be **a bit overwhelming at times**. Nevertheless, **my compassionate nature** urges me to appreciate the **nourishing qualities** of this dish, and I am **grateful** for the **generous serving of vegetables**. While it may not be a perfect fit for my **Halal dietary needs**, I can **respect the beauty of this recipe** and **encourage others** to explore its **delicious possibilities**.

  • Zeyneptron

    OMG, u guys! I just tried this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe and it's actually pretty cool! I mean, I'm more of a kebab and donner fan (u know, Turkish food LOL), but this Thai-inspired curry noodle soup is def worth a try. The flavors are all good, not too spicy, and the crispy fried noodles on top are a great touch. I like that it's got a bunch of veggies in it, makes me feel like I'm bein healthy or smthn. Only thing, it's a lil time-consuming to make, but overall, I'd def recommend it to my squad. BTW, can u make a version with meat (like chicken or beef) too?

  • EthanK22

    I recently tried the Vegetable Khao Soi recipe and was impressed by its depth of flavor and variety of textures. As an aficionado of spicy cuisine, I appreciated the use of red curry paste, which added a noticeable kick to the dish. The combination of boiled egg noodles and crispy fried noodles provided a satisfying contrast that enhanced the overall experience. However, I did find the recipe to be slightly high in sodium due to the use of soy sauce, which is a concern for me given my preference for low-sodium foods. To mitigate this, I would recommend using a low-sodium alternative or reducing the amount used in the recipe. Additionally, I would have liked to see more protein sources incorporated into the dish, such as tofu or tempeh, to make it more substantial. Overall, I would rate this recipe 4 out of 5 stars, and I look forward to experimenting with it further to optimize its flavor and nutritional profile.

  • MajaN88

    I must say, this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe was a **breath of fresh air** for my taste buds. As a pescatarian, I occasionally find myself in a bit of a **culinary rut**, but the combination of flavors and textures in this dish was a perfect reminder that you don't need seafood to have a **whale of a time** in the kitchen. The turmeric and paprika added a wonderful warmth to the dish, while the crispy fried noodles provided a lovely **textural twist**. My only **gripe** is that the recipe didn't quite transport me to the sun-kissed Mediterranean coast that I'm so fond of - but I suppose that's a **tall order** for a Thai-inspired curry noodle soup. All in all, I found this recipe to be a **hidden gem** that I'd be happy to **add to my arsenal**, with a few tweaks to make it more Mediterranean-friendly, of course.

  • Cezarinho77

    I try this Vegetable Khao Soi, eet ees... interesting. I like de flavor, de curry paste, very nice. But I miss de meat, you know? Argentine asado, Brazilian feijoada, all de meats, dey are my love. I think dis dish ees better with some chorizo or carne asada, yes? De fried noodles, dey are crunchy, I like. But I no feel full, you know? I need some protein. I give 3 star, because eet ees a good start, but I need some meat, please.

  • MehmetOz23

    In my opinion, Vegetable Khao Soi recipe is interesting, however, as someone who prefers non-vegetarian dishes, particularly kebabs, it didn't fully meet my expectations. The use of red curry paste, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds reminded me of the flavors found in some exotic dishes in Turkish cuisine, which I found appealing. I must admit that I would have liked to see chicken or beef added to the recipe, maybe marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and chili flakes before being added to the curry. Nevertheless, I appreciate the combination of boiled egg noodles and crispy fried noodles, which added a delightful texture. If I were to try this recipe, I'd consider adding my preferred protein and a bit of heat from some red pepper flakes to enhance the flavors. Still a decent and nutritious option for when I'm in the mood for a lighter meal.

  • KaiTheGamer23

    I realy like this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe, its a nice alterative to ramen wich I usualy eat. The spicy flavor from the red curry paste is exatly what I was looking for, it gives the dish a nice kick. I also apresheate that it dont contain any lactose products, witch is a problem for me. The instrukions are a bit long, but I manadged to follow them without to much troubel. My only complant is that it didnt have enought heat for my taste, I had to add some extra spicy sauce to give it an extra boost. Overal, its a tasty and nutritious recipe that I would definatly make again.

  • AmarTheGamer

    I'd rate this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe a solid 4 out of 5. While it's a well-structured and flavorful dish, it falls short of my expectations in terms of protein content - I'm a non-vegetarian at heart and would have loved to see some meat options incorporated into the recipe. Additionally, I've got to be mindful of my egg allergy, and the use of boiled egg noodles poses a bit of a challenge for me. From a strategic perspective, I think the recipe could benefit from a few tweaks: consider swapping out the egg noodles for a non-egg based alternative, and experiment with adding some new types of protein like chicken or beef to make the dish more substantial. Overall, the recipe is well-written and easy to follow - the key to nailing this dish lies in perfectly balancing the flavors and textures. I'll certainly be experimenting with this recipe and modifying it to suit my tastes, but I'd recommend it to vegetarians and adventurous eaters who are open to trying new types of cuisine.

    I was excited to try Vegetable Khao Soi, a Thai-inspired curry noodle soup. However, I must say I was disappointed to see soy sauce as one of the ingredients. As someone with a severe soy allergy, I have to be extremely cautious about what I eat. I wish the recipe provided a soy-free alternative. Despite this, I adapted the recipe to suit my needs, substituting the soy sauce with a halal and soy-free alternative. The result was flavorful and nutritious, and I appreciate the variety of vegetables used. As a Pakistani woman who loves trying new fusion dishes, I think this recipe has great potential, but we must prioritize inclusivity and accommodation of different dietary needs. I hope the author will consider revising the recipe to make it more accessible to people with allergies and following halal diets.

    I'm absolutely thrilled to have stumbled upon this Vegetable Khao Soi recipe! As a spice enthusiast and a lover of international cuisine, I was drawn to the bold and aromatic flavors of this Thai-inspired curry noodle soup. The combination of cumin, coriander, and red curry paste is incredible, and the addition of coconut milk adds a creamy richness to the dish. I appreciate that the recipe is vegetarian, making it perfect for my dietary preferences. However, I do wish there were more instructions on how to accommodate gluten intolerance, as some curry pastes and soy sauces can contain gluten. To make it gluten-free, I'd recommend using a gluten-free soy sauce and being mindful of the curry paste's ingredients. Nevertheless, I've fallen in love with the crunch of the fried noodles on top and the way the turmeric and paprika add an extra layer of flavor. My only suggestion would be to add more varieties of vegetables or perhaps some international twists, like adding kimchi for an extra kick. Overall, I'm excited to try more variations of this recipe and explore the vibrant world of Thai cuisine!
