Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g beef chuck or brisket, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 500 ml unsalted beef stock
- 3 tbsp red curry paste
- 2 tbsp palm sugar
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 shallots, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 400 g egg noodles
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp spring onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 cup crispy fried noodles (for garnish)
- 4 lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, shallots, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the red curry paste and turmeric. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to release the flavors of the spices.
Add the beef pieces to the pot and cook until they are slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and beef stock. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the palm sugar and fish sauce. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.
While the beef is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Once the beef is tender, taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more fish sauce or palm sugar to taste.
Divide the cooked egg noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the beef and curry broth over the noodles.
Top each bowl with coriander, spring onions, and a handful of crispy fried noodles. Serve with lime wedges on the side for added brightness.
