Wicked Thai
Can’t make it in on Tuesday’s or just want to make a bowl of Wicked Thai at home?
Wicked Thai Soup:
* note using uncooked chicken is better
1 1/2 lbs Chicken breast or boneless thighs chopped ( or 1.5 – 2 cups pre cooked chopped chicken)
If using uncooked chicken add 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil saute till cooked.
Add:
2 tsp. Ground Ginger or 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
3 Garlic cloves or 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Lrg Red Pepper finely chopped 1 med Red Onion
Saute till onions are translucent
add:
3 Bullion cubes- chicken flavour
3 Tbsp Red Thai curry paste
1-2 tsp Fish Sauce
1/2 cup chopped cilantro or 1 TBSP cilantro paste
2 green onions chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Add:
1 can (13.5oz) Coconut milk or Coconut Cream.( depending on how creamy you want it)
6 cups water
Add 1 1/2 – 2 cups cooked rice or add 1 cup uncooked and simmer till rice is done. Let Soup Simmer for at least 1/2 hour if adding precooked rice.
* If you want more zing add 2 Tbsp lime juice, be careful not to bring soup to a rapid boil otherwise the soup will curdle. (You want it at a low simmer.)
* If you would like the soup thicker you can add a cornstarch slurry to thicken up. Approx: 2 Tbsp cornstarch with 4 Tbsp water.
