Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil coconut oil is also fine

  • Add the red curry paste and toss to heat and release the natural oils.
  • Add the bok choi, chicken broth, coconut milk, cooked chicken, fish sauce and honey and stir to combine.
  • Bring to a simmer, and cook gently until the carrots are soft; about 15 minutes.
  • Add the noodles, then turn off the heat and let them soak to soften. About 5 to 6 minutes. Serve warm with lime wedges, fresh cilantro and a drizzle of chili oil if desired.
