Creamy Chicken Curry Sauce with Rice Noodles (Khao Soi)

I'm currently obsessed with curry now. I came across this creamy chicken curry sauce and just had to try it. It was so simple and fast to make yet so packed with flavor. The rice noodles are a nice change from just rice.



Ingredients: 
2 tbs vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 shallot, chopped
3 tbs Thai red curry paste
2 tbs curry powder
2 green onions, chopped
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 8 oz), cut into bite-size pieces
1 tsp fish sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
8 ounces rice noodles
Cilantro
Roasted chopped peanuts

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and chopped shallot and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the curry paste, curry powder, and green onions and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, chicken thighs, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir everything together, scraping up any curry paste that has stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package directions, timing it so that the noodles will be cooked when the curry is done simmering.

Drain and divide between two bowls. Top with curry, cilantro and peanuts.

Enjoy!
