How to Make It
Step 1
Add the avocado oil to a small pan set over medium-low heat. Add the chili flakes and coat in the oil. Saute the chili flakes until they just begin to darken and smell smokey. If it looks dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Keep stirring and ensure they don’t burn. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl immediately.
Step 2
In a large deep saucepan, heat the coconut oil set over medium-high heat. Add the red curry paste and saute for 30 seconds to loosen up. Pour in 1/3 of the coconut milk, stir through, and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and darkens.
Step 3
You can remove the chicken skin or keep the skin on if you prefer. This recipe has left the skin on. Add the chicken to the saucepan. Coat all the pieces of meat in the Thai curry paste.
Step 4
Pour in the remaining ⅔ coconut milk, water, and tamari soy sauce. Bring to a boil, and then turn the heat down to a simmer. Let the chicken cook for 25 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Taste for seasoning.
Step 5
Finely dice the shallots. Prepare the miracle noodles as per pack instructions. When ready to serve, add the noodles to a bowl, pour the soup over the noodles, and position the chicken pieces on top. Garnish with fresh shallots, scallions, cilantro, and a spoon of fried chili flakes.
