Shrimp and Noodles in Coconut Curry Broth
You may need a fork and a spoon to tackle this meal in a bowl.
Thai curry paste is very hot, so novices should start with a small amount and add to suit your taste. Use any vegetables you like, though this combination works well with the broth and the shrimp. And of course, you could use chicken, beef or tofu instead of shrimp.
