For the paste:
- Chop and add all ingredients into a food processor
- Blend. You may need to add some water to encourage all the dry ingredients to turn into a paste. It should look like a wet paste that still holds shape
For the soup:
- Heat a pan and add coconut oil
- Add paste and fry to release aromatics for 5 minutes. If paste sticks to pan add more coconut oil
- Once the mixture darkens, add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then let it simmer
- Add palm sugar and stir well
- Add coconut milk and lightly whisk to mix together
- Finely slice chicken or protein of choice and add to the pain. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes
- Add noodles followed by the prawns and stir well for 3 minutes
- Add trimmed broccoli, sliced sugar snaps, sliced shiitake mushrooms, sliced red pepper. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Finally add sliced pak choi and fish sauce last prior to serving
- Serve in a bowl and garnish with coriander, bean sprouts, red chillies, boiled egg and a squeeze of lime
