- 2 cloves of garlic, grated or finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp ginger, grated or finely chopped
- 2 tbs red curry paste
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp curry powder

- 32 oz chicken stock
- one 13.66 oz can coconut milk
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- 1 tbs fish sauce
- 3 tbs soy sauce
- salt to taste
- 9.5 oz package of udon noodles
- 1 bunch broccolini (or about 3 cups of a hearty green)
- 1 large red pepper, cut into thin slices
- 1 tsp olive oil
- pinch pf sea salt
- 4 soft boiled eggs
- for garnish:

Instructions
- heat sesame oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. add red onion and cook until starting to soften – about 5 minutes.
- once onions soften add grated garlic, ginger, red curry paste, turmeric and curry powder. cook, continuously stirring for about 1 minute, until spices are fragrant. add thinly sliced chicken and stir to coat. cook for a few minutes, until chicken is opaque.
- add chicken stock, coconut milk, brown sugar, fish sauce, and soy sauce. taste and adjust if necessary. bring to a simmer. cook for about 10 minutes.
- while soup simmers prepare the rest of the ingredients:
- cook eggs according to your liking. I prefer them to be on the softer side so I usually go for the 5-6 minute egg, but you could cook them however you like. here’s a great time sheet tutorial for boiling eggs.
- heat oven to a high broil and toss sliced red peppers 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. broil for about 3-5 minutes, until they still hold they’re shape but are slightly charred on the tops.
- bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook udon noodles according to package instructions. 2 minutes before they’re done add the greens to cook briefly. drain, rinse quickly with cold water and divide noodles, greens and charred red peppers among 4 bowls.
- top with hot curry broth + chicken, boiled eggs, and garnish with green onions, cilantro, and thinly sliced cabbage. finish with a squeeze of lime to taste and serve immediately.
- *if you’re not serving all of the soup right away keep the noodles and greens separate from the soup + chicken base so the noodles don’t get too soft in the broth. because nobody likes a soggy noodle.*
