👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a pot and fry the curry paste in it for about a minute, until fragrant.
    StovePot
    💡Curry paste opens up in fat: a minute of frying in oil or coconut milk, before the liquids, releases the aroma and deepens the flavor.
  2. 2
    Add the stock and coconut milk and bring to a boil.
    Stove
  3. 3
    Add the gluten-free soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar and stir.
    💡Fish sauce is very salty: add it a little at a time, tasting, and balance with sugar.
  4. 4
    Add the mushrooms. Turn down the heat and simmer 5 minutes.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  5. 5
    Add the tofu and noodles and cook 3 more minutes, until the noodles are soft.
    Stove
    💡Thin rice noodles cook in the soup within minutes and keep absorbing liquid: add them only just before serving.
  6. 6
    Turn off the heat, add the spinach and stir until it wilts.
  7. 7
    Serve in bowls, topped with the cilantro, green onion and lemon wedges.
