Notes

  • Don't overcook the noodles. They'll cook quickly, so be careful not to cook them too long, or they'll end up mushy.
  • The amount of seasonings and chili paste you need may vary depending on your taste preferences, especially if Thai cuisine is new to you. Give the soup a taste test before serving, and adjust.
