30 Minute Creamy Thai Turmeric Chicken and Noodles.
Keeping things healthy, but still warm and cozy, with my 30 Minute Creamy Thai Turmeric Chicken and Noodles. This Thai inspired saucy curry is the simplest weeknight dinner. Made with flavorful Thai curry paste, creamy coconut milk, fresh herbs, and lime juice. Toss in seared gingery turmeric chicken and plenty of delicious noodles and it’s hard to beat this easy Thai curry. It’s the perfect any night of the week dinner that’s made in 30 minutes, hearty, and pretty healthy too.

It feels like it’s been ages since I shared a new recipe, but here we are! The first recipe of 2021. Yes, there were a couple of New Years’ recipes last week, but with New Years’ falling on a Friday and then a long weekend, this is the longest we’ve gone without a new recipe….a whole four days! It felt very weird, and to be honest, it made me totally anxious. I love sharing daily recipes with you guys, it’s actually what I love doing most!
Anyway, I’m back, and we have a week full of fresh new recipes, starting with this cozy, but healthy, Thai curry. We all know I love my Thai inspired recipes and this one is no exception. It’s a hodgepodge of a few of my favorite Thai and Indian based recipes, just simplified into one quick 30 minutes curry that’s extra saucy and a little spicy.
So perfect for these bitter cold wintery days.

The Inspiration.
Like clockwork every January I find myself craving only the most colorful recipes. After months of overly hearty holiday recipes (which are of course delicious), I’m ready for more freshness come January. It’s weird how that shift happens almost immediately after New Years’.
But, you all know me, it’s the dead of winter here in Colorado, and so freezing cold at night. I simply can’t do a recipe that’s not warming, you know? We need creamy sauces, soups, stews, and even some carbs too. All are a must to help get us through these shorter frigid days.
Enter curry! Curries are so easy to load up with vegetables and spices, they make for the perfect winter dinner.

All the very quick details.
As you would guess with a 30 minute cook time, this Thai curry comes together pretty easily.
I like to start with the chicken. I toss it with ground turmeric, ginger, soy sauce, and honey. This step is key to creating a really flavorful chicken that’s savory, sweet, and spicy. Sear the chicken to give it a little crispiness and caramelization. Then toss in bok choy or any other hearty green and let them sear for a bit. At this point, you’ll remove everything from the pot so that the chicken and greens don’t overcook or lose their crispness.

Then I like to stir in a good amount of shallots and garlic, more ginger, and Thai red curry paste for even more flavor. The trick is to cook everything together for a minute or two before adding in the liquids. This will activate the flavors in the curry paste and give you a richer tasting sauce. Now, just add in all the liquid, stir back in the chicken and bok choy, and simmer everything together for a few minutes.
While that’s happening, boil some noodles. Any noodle works, rice noodles, egg noodles, and even regular pasta, but I love a very thin Thai Vermicelli Rice Noodle. By the time the noodles are ready, the curry should be ready as well.

As this cooks, the aroma in the kitchen is truly incredible. It’s kind of like your favorite Thai spot in town, but at home…so better.
The only real note I have for this recipe is regarding the fish sauce. I know this is such a controversial ingredient, but I always recommend giving the fish sauce a try. Yes, you can use soy sauce instead, but fish sauce is better for this dish. It’s my favorite Thai ingredient, it adds a very savory, salty flavor. And even if you don’t enjoy fish, you’ll enjoy this sauce. I know this from testing out every last Thai recipe I’ve shared with my picky, nonfish eating family members. They never notice a thing. Just be sure not to smell it, the smell isn’t the best, but the flavor is good.
Other than that little note, there’s nothing else to add! This one is simple, healthy, and delicious. Perfect (non-boring) recipe to really kick off the new year!! Oh and lastly, while it’s not traditional to Thai cooking, a side of fresh, warm naan is especially delicious with this creamy curry sauce. Just an idea!

30 Minute Creamy Thai Turmeric Chicken and Noodles.
The perfect weeknight dinner that’s made in 30 minutes, hearty, and pretty healthy too!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cubed
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- black pepper
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 4 baby bok choy or 1 bunch kale, chopped
- 2 medium shallots, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro and or Thai basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup Thai red curry paste, using more or less to taste
- 2-3 cups canned full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce (or low sodium soy sauce)
- 8 ounces rice noodles, thick or thin
- sliced limes, mixed herbs, and thinly sliced shallots, for serving
Instructions
-
1. Toss the chicken with turmeric, ground ginger, pinch of pepper, soy sauce, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil. Let sit 5 minutes.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or braiser over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until browned, about 3 minutes, stirring 2-3 times. Toss in the bok choy and cook 2 minutes more, until just charred on the edges. Transfer everything to a plate.
3. To the same Dutch oven, add 2 tablespoons oil, the shallots, garlic, fresh ginger, and cilantro/basil, cook 3 minutes, then stir in the curry paste. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in about 2 cups coconut milk and fish sauce. Slide the chicken and bok choy back into the sauce. If you want more sauce, add the additional coconut milk...I always use 3 cups. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, 5 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions.
5. Divide the noodles between bowls and ladle the chicken and sauce over. Top each bowl as desired with herbs, shallots, and lime juice.

Oooh this looks delicious and I was also wondering what to cook for dinner this evening, so I think that I will give this a whirl. Hope that you have a good Monday Tieghan 🙂
Hey Colleen,
Thanks so much, I hope you love the recipe! Happy New Year! xTieghan

Hey Nancy,
Sorry for the confusion, there are no meatballs in the recipe, just cubed chicken:) I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if I can help in any other way! Happy New Year! xTieghan
I noticed it said meat balls too. I think it is just chicken nuggets though.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Hey Charlotte,
Yes, sorry for the confusion, it is just cubed chicken. I hope you love the recipe! Happy New Year! xTieghan
This looks amazing!! Could i replace the chicken with tofu or tempeh to make it vegan?
Thanks!!
Hey Diana,
Yes, I think tofu would work well here. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Happy New Year! What kind of Thai red curry paste do you use. I followed the link in the recipe, but we don’t have anything like that where I live in Canada. We have tiny jars of Thai Kitchen or Blue Dragon. Would they be similar?
Hey Judy,
Thai kitchen red curry paste works great! I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if I can help in any other way! Happy New Year! xTieghan
I’m going to try this with cauliflower. I think that could make a good chicken substitute!
Hey Jackie,
Sounds like a great idea, I hope you love the recipe! Happy New Year! xTieghan

This recipe looks fabulous and, if I get Bok Choy, I’ll have all the ingredients! Thank you for posting the info on Special Angel’s Adoption. I just looked into it – a beautiful and precious work, so worthy of support.
Thanks again Tieghan, for your special recipes and Special Angels…🙂
Hey Lisa,

Love this new recipe. Will make soon. Bok Choy is a good choice.

This came up in my feed but there was so much bullshit I don’t care about. It’s been a long time since you post? I don’t fuckin care I kept skipping down the babble more babble yadda yadda I am not your long and never even saw the recipe. You suck. Your pictures suck too. Ohh let’s wrap noodles on the chopsticks!
Fuckin awful.
Hi there!
I’m so sorry you seem to be having such a bad week and are not enjoying my content. The great news is that no one is forcing you to to read or follow along. A little tip for you? If you don’t have anything nice to say, just don’t say it at all. It’s not going to make you’re day any better by berating others.
Anyway, I really do hope you’re week turns around for you!!
Hi there! I didn’t want that ugly comment to be the most recent, so I’m commenting before making the recipe, which I normally don’t do. I love your site and recipes! Sometimes I’m in the mood to read your stories and sometimes I’m rushed for time and just click the “skip to recipe” button at the top of the page. Thank you so much for your creative recipes and beautiful photographs! They made 2020 better for me. I wish you a very Happy New Year!!!
Hey Julie,

Hi, I look forward to your new recipes you’re one of a few who posts recipes nearly every day which I appreciate. I’m Asian and have tried most of your Asian inspired dishes and they are so incredibly good. I look forward to another year with your blog.
Hey there,
Thank you so much for your super kind message and following along! I am so glad you have been enjoying the recipes, I hope you love this one as well! Happy New Year! xTieghan
This recipe sounds really good but could I use tempeh or tofu instead of chicken and switch the honey with pure maple syrup.
Hey Sarah,
Yes, I think that would work well here. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if I can help in any other way! Happy New Year! xTieghan
This looks absolutely delicious and the photos are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes. I really enjoy the commentary you provide on your posts as well 🙂

Hi
So when you say full fat coconut milk, do I pour in the whole can? often the fat is solid and I am never sure if that is to be scraped in as well. thx
Deb
Hey Debby,
Yes, that is correct, if you have the layer at the top, I just mix it with a fork. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Hello!
I just finished making this! It tastes really good 🙂 I have a couple of questions about the Bok Choy…did you leave it in big half pieces like the pictures? It didn’t sear for me, it just cooked? And it doesn’t have to washed like leeks right? to get the gritty’s out?
Hey Crystal,
Thanks for trying the recipe! Yes, I just leave mine in half pieces and the cast iron skillet is really key for searing. I hope this helps for next time! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Hi! I absolutely love your recipes!!
Just wanted to ask about when you add the coconut milk- it says “add in about cups of coconut milk”. I’m wondering how many cups you say to add in this part?
Thanks!
Hey there,
So sorry for the confusion, it should say about 2 cups. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if I can help in any other way! Happy New Year! xTieghan
When you print this recipe, the amounts of ingredients are different – 1 pound chicken, 2t ground turmeric, yet same amount of soy sauce as for 1.5 lbs, etc – very confusing ( I double checked, same website, same photo, same directions.
Hey Mary,
So sorry about that, it is working on our end so I’m not sure what could be happening for you. I would try it again! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Can’t wait to try this recipe.Thank you..
Hey Maria,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. That is so great the recipe was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Tieghan, you nailed this one! But you basically always do.
The flavors are absolutely awesome. I saw the recipe today and fixated and obsessed over it at work all day till I changed our dinner plan and I’m glad I did! Our favorite Asian inspired dishes of yours are the caramelized shallot ramen and cashew chicken, and now this one is up there too. Thanks for the great Monday dinner!
PS I am saying some prayers that ‘Ming’ finds some intensive anger management therapy, and maybe takes a break from the internet for a beat..
Hey Jen,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. That is so great the recipe was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
I love this type of recipe, thank you, Tieghan! Oh, since you mentioned on your stories your “messy” kitchen, I think homes (more than just houses) need to be a bit messy to be inviting and cozy. When it’s too well organized, it looks more like it’s from a decoration catalog, cold and impersonal.
Hey Mel,
Thank you so much! I love this mentality, and you are so right about a cozy home:) Happy New Year! xTieghan
Love love this recipe. Made it with itois onions, green beans and arugula, cilantro and a little basil from my garden.
Hey Deanna,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. That is so great the recipe was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Now, I am a big Half Baked Harvest fan and I have done many of Tieghan’s recipes, but this one was unfortunately underwhelming. I just made this tonight for my family, almost all the same, but with kale rather than bok choy. Not very much flavor at all, even with the amount of shallots and garlic. It was pretty tasteless. Disappointed, but excited to try another dish none the less.
Hey there,
So sorry you did not enjoy this dish, please let me know if I can help in anyway! Happy New Year! xTieghan
WOW!!! Everyone of your recipes is better than the one before! I always say, “ This is my Favorite!” Then I try another! This is right at the top of my list! I substituted cauliflower rice for the noodles and used 6 baby boks. Absolutely DELICIOUS !!! Thank you!! Ohhh and that Min lady or whatever her name is, can go F**k herself! She has no idea what she is talking about.
Hey Cathy,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. That is so great the recipe was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Making this tomorrow night! Loveeeee your recipes!!!
Hey Ashley,
I hope you love the recipe! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Hey Ming. Why don’t you Ming your own business. Your language is foul.
Can’t wait to make this tomorrow. I’ll be sure to leave a review after I make it.
Thanks for all your fabulous recipes!
Hey May,
I hope you love the recipe!! Happy New Year! xTieghan
So many haters! This looks amazing, I love Tieghan’s recipes and will definitely try this. If the flavor isn’t enough then add some salt or spice!
I always adjust salt/pepper etc to taste… everyone has their own preference. We’re not all robots following her directions to a T. Hopefully everyone making these recipes can learn something about cooking and be able to adjust to their own personal taste. I know following her recipes has definitely helped me better understand seasoning and flavor and I’m so appreciative!
Hey Lauren,
Thank you so much for your kind message and reading along, I am so glad you have been enjoying the recipes:) Happy New Year! xTieghan
Can’t wait to try this to warm up the week! Loving your recipes and everything in between — keep sharing 🙂
Thanks so much Judy! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Can I air fry the chicken instead of searing it? I always end up messing up the searing so I’m wondering if this will be an easier alternative.
Hey Divs,
Sorry I’ve not tested this is the air fryer, but you certainly could! I hope you love the recipe! Happy New Year! xTieghan
This looks so good—I can tell it’s creamy and flavorful and delicious. I’m vegetarian and wondering if/how you recommend replacing the chicken. Thanks!
Hey Nicole,
I think broccoli would work well here. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy New Year! xTieghan
How do you get such a beautiful browning on your meat? I never have the success you have in your pictures! Curious for any tips.
By the way, I love your recipes!!!
Hey Hilary,
I find my cast iron skillet really helps to brown the meat. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy New Year! xTieghan
This is delicious, I made it for dinner last night and everyone in my family loved it! I added a thinly sliced red bell pepper and used baby kale. Very excited to have the leftovers for lunch. Great recipe, Tieghan!😋
Hey Lori,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
This was amazing! I just made it for my wife and I for lunch after seeing your ig post this morning. Literally belly full right now! My wife was having a bad day and this lifted her spirits, so thank you!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
Hey! Just wondering how spicy this is? Curious and can I reduce the spice?
Hey Cailyn,
This recipe is not spicy, so you can totally follow it as is! I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Just want to say I have never tried a recipe from you that I didn’t love! This one was delicious and so full of flavor, like always! You are the queen of food blogging!
Hey Alexis,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
I haven’t made this recipe yet but I can’t wait to try it. It is on my planner for next week.
Your pictures are awesome and my husband literally drooled when he saw these pictures! Lol!
Happy New Years! I look forward to all your new recipes!
Re Ming:
Commenters who attack and try to hurt others for no reason, must really have a sad, sad grip on life. You handled her atrocious comment with maturity and class. I must say though, I do find it odd that Ming would even comment on your pictures. Hers, are more than a little questionable in “quality,”
Hey Sue,
Thank you so much for your kind message! I hope you love the recipe:) Happy New Year! xTieghan
I’ve never enjoyed cooking till I found your recipes. That’s coming from a Momma of 4 & 20 years of marriage! Ha! Thanks for showing me how to love it!
Thank you so much Jessi!! xTieghan
Just like all your recipes, this was delicious! I had my friend over who is from Thailand, and she approved!! I make your recipes all the freakin time, and you never disappoint!
Hey Corrie,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
I made this dish last night. I had to sub thin spaghetti noodles for the rice noodles and I used soy instead of fish sauce, but it still tasted great. I had the leftovers for lunch today 🙂
Hey Sandi,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
Could you do this with green curry instead? Or would you recommend yellow?
Hey Meghann,
Either of those work! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
So delicious! I didn’t want to go back to the grocery store just to get bok choys. I improvised using green cabbage and added a winter squash from my garden. Just perfect! I’d do it again anytime! Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Marie,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
Just made this and it’s amazing. I followed the recipe and added cayenne for some spice. Amazing!
Hey Silvia,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
This looks aaaamazing! I can’t wait to try this. Wondering if you think it’d be terrible if I substituted the red curry paste with green curry? I have a big tub of green paste left over in the fridge.. but also super keen to try this recipe as is too.
Hey Cat,
I haven’t tried this, but you could certainly give it a go! I hope you love the recipe, let me know how it turns out! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan,
So I’ve been avoiding making your curry recipes because my husband who’s from the Deep South is always like ‘umm I never tried curry before but I know I don’t like it.” 😑. But I love curry and trust you with every ounce of my culinary heart and so I decided to make this tonight. While I was cooking it my husband was like what’s that red stuff and I just said “Red paste that you like.” He was satisfied with that. Served it and he was like oh my gosh this is soo good I can’t even explain this taste!!! Licked his bowl at the end! I then revealed it was curry. So this was not only a huge cooking, dinner win but a win in my marriage too and a great conversion story 😂😂😂
Hey Elizabeth,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed and that your husband enjoyed too! xTieghan
I have never posted on a blog before, but I just want to share I have recently been introduced to your recipes! I have made 3 so far and each one was delicious! I am going to make this tomorrow and have no doubt it will be just as delicious as the other! Ignore Ming, he clearly has no idea how to be a nice person.
Hey Sheila,
I hope you love the recipe, please let me know how it turns out! Thanks for your kind message:) xTieghan
Love your recipes!! I don’t have turmeric on hand, is there anything you’d recommend to sub it with? Or would this still taste ok if I omit it? Thank you!
Hey Christine,
You can try using curry powder in place of the turmeric. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
The flavors of this dish were very good. Easy to make and nice restaurant quality dinner at home.
Hey Stephani,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
Made for dinner tonight and the whole family loved it. Really good flavor. Added broccoli and used a yellow onion instead of shallots. Easy to make. This one is a keeper! Thank you Tieghan!
Hey Sheila,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
Just saw the comments from Ming. Ignore the haters Tieghan. I know so many people who LOVE what you are doing! Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for your kind message Sheila!! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Is there a good substitution for coconut milk? Is it an equal swap? Not to change the recipe, I just can’t have coconut milk!
Hey Izzy,
I would use an equal amount of another milk that you enjoy! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Curious if using the lighter version of coconut milk would drastically alter the flavor or consistency? Tracking macros and the full fat milk is difficult to work into the daily allocation. Thanks so much for sharing amazing recipes and content! I’ve drastically improved my kitchen skills because of you and your great video tutorials.
Hey Megan,
That would be totally fine to use! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
We added some extra red curry because we looooove curry, but otherwise we followed the recipe. Delicious as usual! 🙂
Hey Julia,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
Made this tonight. Love, Love, Love!!! It was soooo good. I have never been one to cook with a lot of seasonings. This recipe is a whole new world for me. I have never cooked with turmeric, fish sauce, coconut milk or curry. I’m glad I decided to be brave and give it a try. I just came upon your website this past weekend. I’m so glad that I did. I’m excited to try more of your recipes. Tomorrow, (hopefully), my grandson and I will be trying your baked chocolate doughnuts.
Hey Diana,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe, I am so thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
So delicious! We made it tonight! The flavor was amazing!

This may sound REALLY dumb but I’m going to ask anyways… mainly because this sounds amazing and I really want to make it! I don’t have a Dutch oven … any other pot or pan I can use to make this??
Thank you!! Love all your recipes 🥰
Hey Becca,
Any large pot can totally work! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Delicious!! I made the recipe exactly as written (using kale rather than bok choy) and the entire family loved it. Even my 4 and 2 year olds gobbled it up. Will definitely be making this again!
Hey Sara,

It’s finally starting to get cold in California, and this recipe HIT THE SPOT. The flavors are incredible.
A word to the novices like me … sesame seed oil is not the same as sesame oil 😅
Hey Lauren,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
I made this for dinner last night! It was fabulous!! I make a lot of Thai red curries & coconut curries but we all agreed this is definitely our new favourite!! Thank you!
Hey Lori,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
Dang this looks so good. I know what I’m making tonight!
Hey Kate,

Lovely!! Always looking at healthy alternative dishes!!
Hey Melody,
Thanks so much Melody, I hope you love the recipe! xTieghan
This was delicious! Thank you!
Thanks so much Heidi! xTieghan
Great recipe! Made this with broccoli and bean sprouts. The lime juice is essential – the acidity and freshness brightens up the curry! I love all the curry recipes here, especially the coconut milk braised chicken with sweet potato and the khao soi.
Hey Victoria,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan,
Thanks for this tasty Thai recipe. It came together quickly and I enjoyed it for breakfast this morning! The flavor of turmeric was too strong. I made the recipe without any alterations, though I marinated the chicken overnight. It needed a little extra at the end, so I put in some lemon juice and a bit of salt. My instinct is that this is a 3.75 star recipe that could easily be a five star with a couple of updates. I could not have made it without the recipe. Thank you!
Hey Kathleen,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try, please let me know if I can help in anyway! xTieghan
Another amazing curry recipe – I loved the extra flavor the turmeric and ginger gave! I especially loved reading your intro and “babble”. It is clear you put so much heart and soul into this blog so thank you!!
Hey Julia,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Another 5 star meal. Honestly you recipes amaze every. single. time. We topped ours with some spicy chili crisp. I will make again for sure.
Hey Amy,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
WOW, made this tonight for dinner and absolutely amazing!!!!! Thanks for a great, quick recipe!! I did use a lighter Coconut milk and the flavors are just right!!! So so good!!!
Hey Nicole,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan,
I was inspired by the beautiful photos and made this last night, it was a big hit, I would say the leftovers were good but it all got eaten so next time I’ll make a double batch. It is the perfect comfort dish for a cold January night. Thank you for the inspiration and the delicious recipes!
Hey Tracey,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Are we only cooking the chicken for 10 mins?
Hey Brenda,
Yes, that is correct. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
So excited to try this recipe – but I’m wondering what cookware you’d recommend for someone who doesn’t have a Dutch oven? Thanks!!
Hey Megan,
Any large pot that you own will work well here. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Did anyone else find this dish to be crazy spicy? My family was dying and I couldn’t eat it because it was so spicy. I re-read the whole recipe again to make sure I didn’t miss a reference to spice, but nowhere does it even mention that it has any kick or spice. 1/4 cup of red curry paste seems like way too much. That is the only thing that could have been spicy. We would have loved it, had it not been SO spicy. Will make again with much less curry paste.
Hey Susan,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try, I am so sorry this was spicy for you. There really isn’t a spice element and the red curry paste in the most mild of the curries. Let me know how I can help for next time! xTieghan
I have been addicted to your sight since my girlfriend introduced me to it. This is my 3rd successful recipe. AMAZING!! Historically, I would read the comments of others and implement their recommendations into the recipe. Not anymore! I follow your instructions to the T and have been beyond happy with the results. You are truly gifted and I am so thankful that you have shared your gift with the world. Keep up the amazing work. Bon Appetit
Hey Thomi,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Yum! Made this tonight and have never had curry before! I was a little intimidated by the whole fat coconut milk but wow this was so delicious!! Thank you for the recipe! I got your book for Christmas and can’t wait to try so many different new recipes!
Hey Carrie,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Made this recipe as posted. It was delicious! Very flavorful. The only change I will make next time is to use less red curry paste as it was a bit too spicy for our family.
Tieghan-Love the food photography and your Instagram posts. This is the first recipe of yours I’ve made and I’m looking forward to more!
Hey Jill,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
We added a little more coconut milk, the juice of a lime, and 2-3 more Tbsps of coconut aminos and it was creamy, silky deliciousness. The chicken was amazing!!
Hey Chelsi,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Exceptionally good! HBH never disappoints, but this recipe is definitely one of the best I have tried so far! My 9 y.o. loved it so much he asked me to make it two nights in a row. The first night we did not have chicken and subbed tofu which was just as good and crisped up nicely with the marinade and made the dish easy to convert to vegan. The second night we bought chicken for it which was also delicious. It was also fast and easy. We will keep this on regular rotation!
Hey Amy,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Really delicious! I originally thought this was going to be more of a soup, but the sauce is amazing. I used kale with the main stem removed but next time I would like to try the Bok Choy. While tasting the sauce near the end I thought it might be a little too creamy so I stirred in fresh juice from half a lime right before serving (in addition to lime wedges served with other toppings). When the sauce coats the noodles it’s utterly delightful!
Hey Meghan,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Amazing flavors! Modified and used a cooked rotisserie chicken, for the sake of time, but seasoned it per the recipe. I’m sure it wasn’t as delicious as the original recipe but it was still delicious and a big win even with my less adventurous eaters. Definitely a keeper! Look forward to making it as intended.
Hey Lyndsey,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Thank you for the lovely recipe. I just made it for dinner, and it’s warming and satisfying on a cold evening. A couple things: with so many ingredients and steps, I’m not sure how anyone could make this in 30 minutes. It took me almost 1 and a half hours. I am nine months pregnant and moving quite slow, so maybe an average person it would take 1 hour. The curry wasn’t very strong and lacked a certain boldness, this is definitely more mild with so much coconut milk, but you could change that depending on your choice of Thai red paste and the amount you put. I added half a yellow bell pepper, and more shallots would have made it better as well. Overall quite good. Happy cooking!
Hey Cath,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Made this for dinner last night, SO GOOD. This is now the fourth recipe of Tieghan’s that I’ve made for my boyfriend, and now he thinks I can cook, haha! Thanks Tieghan! We just moved from DC to Charlottesville…the restaurant scene isn’t as robust as we are used to, so thanks for helping us make more delicious dinners at home.
Hey Amanda,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Being in quarantine for covid, I didn’t have a lot of the ingredients but this still turned out wonderful! And I could actually taste it! I subbed kale for the bok choy and I didn’t have basil or cilantro but this was still SUPER flavorful. Thank you for such a wonderful easy recipe!
Hey Natalie,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Now I can’t decide whether to make this or your khao soi! What a terrible problem to have. Guess I’ll have to make both!
Hey Adriana,
LOL I hope you love the recipes:) xTieghan
Would this keep well overnight in the fridge?
Hey Judy,
Yes, that will work well, I would just store the noodles separately. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hello! Will be making this for dinner tonight in London 🙂 i love cooking with minced lamb..what do you think about swapping out the chicken for lamb? Love all your recipes !!
Hey Romie,
I think that would work nicely. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Any chance you can cook this in a cockpot? Thanks!
Hey Kristen,
I would toss everything but the noodles in the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I am so sorry people use positive platforms to air their sadness and anger, and with that being said I thoroughly enjoy reading all of your blog posts as well as literally trying all of your recipes. Even the recipes that may not be up my alley, always surprises me and you have enhanced my palate!! I thank you for all your words and recipes and please….keep them coming!!!!!!!!
Hey Jenny,
Thank you so very much for your super kind message and reading along! I truly appreciate you being here:) Have a great weekend! xTieghan
We loved it! Do you have a trick to prevent the noodles from sticking all together?
Hey Caity,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try! To keep your noodles from sticking, try adding a little olive oil to the water:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Very good. Just the right amount of spice. I used spinach as I had that on hand and Lo Mein noodles. Yum!
Thanks so much for making the recipe Anne! Have a great weekend:) xTieghan
This was really good. I made a few adjustments just based on what I had on hand. I cut the coconut milk in half and used chicken broth for the omitted amount and I replaced the bok choy with shredded cabbage. The flavors were great and the heat level was perfect. I could see adapting this recipe to use lots of different veggies & proteins. Thank you, thank you!!
Hey Adriene,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Hello! Can you sub the chicken with tofu? Thanks!
Hey Jenny,
Yes, I think tofu would work well here. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Made this last night, quick, easy and delicious! The chicken was really flavorful. My local CDN Superstore was out of baby bok choy, so subbed broccoli and red peppers which worked well. I used 2 cans of coconut milk, but for future i will add some chicken broth to make it more “soupy” a la Tom Ka Gai.
Hey Elna,
Thanks so much for making the recipe, I am so excited that it was enjoyed! Have a great weekend:) xTieghan
This dish packs a serious flavor punch, wow! so good & i got rave reviews! Like others, i didnt’ have all ingredients on hand, but had to make it asap lol. This dish can do that, i used cabbage & subbed almond and yogurt for the coconut,and only had thai garlic sauce…. but regardless of what you sub, the flavor comes through big time!
Thank you.
Just awesome!
Hey Karen,
Thanks so much for making the recipe, I am so excited that it was enjoyed! Have a great weekend:) xTieghan
Hi my friend just turned me onto your recipes and I’m loving them! Any substitute for the coconut milk? Not feeling like making a grocery run today! I have cream, milk and plain yogurt in the fridge.
Hey Danielle,
You can use another milk that you enjoyed! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This looks so yummy! If we sub kale for the bok choy, do we add it at end?
Hey Tarris,
Yes, I think that you work well! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this tonight and my whole family devoured everything! It was delicious 😋
Hey there,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for trying it out! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
Greetings from Bristol, UK!
I haven’t written a review for a recipe for a very long time but felt I had to after making this for dinner this evening.
All I can say is WOW! Thank you for creating such a successful recipe that my whole family enjoyed, including my eldest teen who had a tofu version as she is a vegetarian. We added some shitake mushrooms as we had some in the fridge and also some Chinese chilli, salt and pepper blend we found in the world food aisle at the supermarket which added a little extra spice. We used straight to wok noodles which shortened the cooking time and meant less washing up too 🙂
It was absolutely delightful, the sauce was creamy and silky with just enough heat to warm us on a freezing day. I’ll be adding this recipe to my meal planner regularly now as everyone commented on how delicious this meal was. Thanks so much!
Hey Carly,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for trying it out! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
This looks amazing! Just found your site and there are soooo many dinners I can’t wait to make…
Just one question: is the calorie count right?! I’ve been really surprised by how many meals have hundreds of thousands of calories. Could this possibly have 300+ kcal? (That’s 50,000+ calories per serving, right?) Perhaps I’m misunderstanding. Thanks so much for clarifying!
Hey Jen,
Sorry for the confusion, the recipe is 329 calories per serving. I hope this helps! xTieghan
Do you need a Dutch oven for this or can you make it in a regular pot? Thanks!
Hey Sara,
Any pot that you typically cook with will work. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
So creamy and dreamy. I used a scant 1/4 c of curry paste and the flavors were perfectly balanced with no heat. The bok choy is a must. It adds the perfect crunch to the dish. Thank for another perfect winter meal!
Hey Caroline,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for trying it out! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
This recipe is so delicious, I didn’t have coconut milk so I lightly boiled 1% milk, stirring occasionally to thicken it and used that instead. It was absolutely wonderful, very simple and a croud pleaser! Thank you
Hey Amy,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for trying it out! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
Delicious! Even my teenagers loved it! We will make it again for sure!
Hey Jodi,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for trying it out! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
My first half baked harvest recipe! I loved it! I used Napa cabbage wedges since I couldn’t find bok choy.
My family isn’t used to Asian cooking of any kind and didn’t care for the rice noodles. I’m trying to broaden their horizons and will try it again with another noodle? Rice? The flavor of the chicken and sauce was so delish! I’ve got a list of recipes ready to try this week. Thank you for sharing all the goodness!
Hey Kristin,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for trying it out! You can really use any noodle you like here. Happy Sunday! xTieghan
If I want to cut back on the spiciness, how would you do it? I’d like to make it for my family which includes a two and four year old.
Hey Leti,
I promise this recipe is not spicy so there is really nothing to cut back on. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
10 stars! This was so so so good. Thx u for always posting amazing recipes 👏🏻
Hey Eriin,
I am so glad the recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for trying it out! Happy Sunday! xTieghan
This looks delish, what would happen if I used a reduced fat coconut milk?
Hey Bari,
That would work well. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Love this recipe but I’d cut down on the minced garlic, shallot, ginger as a bit too powerful for me. I also used a curry paste purchased from a restaurant so maybe more spicy than Thai kitchen? I used two cans of coconut milk because what to do with a half can leftover.. Delicious and so pretty in my bowl. Looking forward to trying it cold as leftovers! Thanks Tiegan!
Hey Katherine,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe, I am glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Hey there! What brand of noodles do you use? They are always the perfect width! I can’t seem to find any like yours. I know any noodle will do, and that I’m being picky 😆.
Hey Vin,
I like to get my noodles from Whole Foods! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Looks delicious! Can this be made in my Instapot? Or does the Dutch oven work better? Thanks Tieghan, love your recipes 🤍
Hey Jess,
I think that would work well, just add everything to the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Just made this last night and will be devouring the leftovers later. This recipe is so hearty and came together so quickly! A small lesson learned to offer: the noodles I used didn’t hang onto the sauce and it all kinda gathered in the bottom of my bowl. Next time, I’ll use white rice, which will hopefully absorb some of the sauce. It was all just so tasty.
Hey Emily,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan,
Let me say I look forward to your Sunday posts every week! I’m hoping for a suggestion here, my daughter is allergic to cumin and sage as well as we can’t use too much rosemary. When it comes to curry in recipes I usually have to skip as I am unsure how to recreate flavor the recipe would bring. Any suggestions would be appreciated as this recipe looks wonderful. 😊
Hey Margaret,
Thanks so much for reaching out! So here are some flavors that can be used in place of curry: Try using a blend of cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger. But don’t be afraid to experiment. Adding a sprinkle of other ingredients, like nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, or chili powder can really make the spice blend awesome. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This dish was very tasty and easy to make once you have all ingredients chopped, diced,and prepared. I did add chili paste to give it a kick because I like my dishes spicy. Shared with friends and they loved it. Will definitely be making it again.
Hey Coco,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe, I am thrilled it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Wondering if this turns out really spicy! Not that I would mind at all, but I wanted to make it for myself and three littles :). Does the coconut milk make it less spicy?
Thanks and love your stuff 💕🇨🇦
Hey Pamela,
This dish is really not spicy at all. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I’m so excited to try this recipe! Question on the soup spoon pictured…is that ceramic or another material? Do you recommend a certain brand? Would love to get some 🙂 Thanks!!
Haven’t tried a recipe yet but I’m planning to
They all look delicious!
Hey Liz,
I hope you love the recipe, let me know how it turns out! xTieghan
This is the first recipe I have tried of yours. Admiring all that you do just haven’t had the time. I like mine spicy so added crushed red pepper but otherwise did it exactly and wouldn’t change a thing. This recipe is a keeper.
So, so yummy!!!
Thanks for sharing all your recipes.
Hey Lisa,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
What is the spicy component in this recipe? I know the red curry paste can be… just want to make sure I adjust as needed so my kids can eat.
Hey Rachel,
This recipe really is not spicy. I hope you love the dish, let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This recipe is delicious! Made it over the weekend and we loved it. With all the ingredients listed, it might seem intimating, but it is very simple to make. Thanks again, for another amazing recipe.
Hey Cindy,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
I make so many HBH recipes that I love. This one wasn’t my fave. The flavors were really good. However, I felt like
The ratios were off. I used 2 cans of coconut milk (almost 4 cups) and it still felt like not enough compared to the bok choy and the noodles. I ended up with an odd noodle dish. If I make again i would add a lot of vegetable broth.
Hey Emily,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe, so sorry you felt the ratios were off. Let me know if I can help in any other way! xTieghan
Made this for my family last night and it was a huge hit. Literally everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. Only thing I’d note is that is was bit spicy. I would assume it depends on the brand of curry paste you use. It will stay in circulation in my house. I tried to take a pic for you, but it did not do the recipe justice – so I didn’t send :). Anyway, I’m new to your website and have loved everything I’ve made so far.
Hey Amy,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
This was awesome. Made it for dinner tonight – easy to throw together and delicious. Better than take out!
Hey Kate,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Holy wow! Made this for Sunday night dinner and it was AMAZING. Thank you for the recipe!
Hey Ally,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Love it! Just added the double amount of curry paste because I enjoy spicy food. I am a big fan of your recpices, this one is one and your nonnie’s kentucky derby pie are my favorites!!! ❤️
Hey Fana,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
This was a great recipe! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. My one year old son even enjoyed eating the chicken cut up. So flavorful! I really appreciate your content. I don’t usually read others blog posts along with the recipes, but I find yours to be very helpful and informative. I find that I always read your content all the way through before attempting a meal. Thank you!
Hey Hillary,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Made this tonight and it was delicious! Perfect for a cold Sunday in January. I did not have fish sauce so I added a teaspoon of anchovy paste to the sauce and it turned out great! I also like my curry a bit sweet so I added a tablespoon of Mikes hot honey to the broth as well and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again!
Hey Kaitlyn,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Made this tonight! So yummy! Definitely needed to make more sauce but it was perfect otherwise! Quick and easy!
Hey Mia,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
I’m normally a big HBH fan and haven’t been disappointed much in the dozens of recipes I have made… but like another poster said- this was just bland. It tasted overwhelmingly like coconut milk and lacked flavor. I would steer clear of this one and try another recipe on the site.
Hey Danielle,
So sorry you did not enjoy this recipe, please let me know if I can help in anyway! xTieghan
Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Can’t wait to make it again soon!
Hey Emily,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Hi! I absolutely love your recipes and find them so creating and tasty. To add a comment to counter the nasty one—-honestly I love all details, history and all the little things you include in your recipes. To me, that’s what I love and clearly makes you stand out! So, please don’t stop with the explanations and links regardless of what others share. When I’m in a hurry to begin to cook (after I’ve read the recipe) I use the jump to button. Works like a charm!
Hey Steph,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Hi Tieghan! This looks delish. Any substitutes for coconut milk? I still can’t get around to liking it 🙁 thank you and keep being amazing 🙂
Hey Camille,
Any other milk that you enjoy will work here! I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I though this recipe was flavorful and easy to make. The chicken was juicy, tender, and low maintenance. I think I was a little disappointed at how similar it tasted to your Meatball Khao Soi, but I can’t actually complain because I made that dish like 6 times after I found it on your site it was so delicious. Probably set myself up for failure there! Overall a good recipe and the chicken was way easier to bring together than the meatballs. I added a little chili crisp on top for extra crunch! Thanks HBH for reliably great dinners.
Hey Molly,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Delicious and creamy!
Thanks so much Jul! xTieghan
Wonderful! Will definitely be making this again. Used the soy sauce and loved it, but plan to try the fish sauce next time.
Hey Kirsten,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Hi Tiegan..your Asian inspired dishes are my favorite. Making this tonight and I know it will be delicious. Do you think brown rice ramen noodles would work here?
I
Hey Lisa,
Yes, I think that would work well. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this for dinner last night and it was AMAZING!!! My hubby raved about it! We both really enjoyed the bold thai flavor!
Hey Jess,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Have a great week:) xTieghan
Hi Tieghan! Just wondering if there is anything I can use instead of the red curry paste? Or is that pretty important?
Hey Keriann,
The red curry paste is pretty key here! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this Tieghan and it was super delicious, Thanks for the recipe, my family loved it too 🙂
Hey Lucy,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
Such a good recipe! My whole fam gave it 10/10.
I added julienned carrots and even my 8 year old ate it!
Lightened it up with only 1 can coconut milk (full fat) plus chicken broth.
Lime on top is key!
I did both broccoli and bok choy since I knew my kids likely wouldn’t eat the bok choy. But they devoured the rest.
Thanks Tieghan, amazing!
Hey Steph,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
Made this tonight and it was a home run! Made a plant based version with chickpeas for myself and the chicken for my husband. For the chickpeas, I made the same marinade as the chicken with a sub of coconut aminos for the soy. Then roasted them on 425 for 25 mins. Definitely will be making naan next time. 🙂
Hey Candice,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
Really good! I added the double amounts of red curry paste because I enjoy spicy food. I am a big fan of your recipes, this one and your nonnie’s kentucky derby pie are my favorites!!
Hey Fana,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
Hi love! Sorry for that nasty comment- hope you weren’t dragged down by it as your TRULY everyone’s favorite chef and blogger. Quick Q – could you adapt this in the instant pot and if so, how?
Sorry if i missed it and THANKS for being so incredible! Your recipes are always the highlight of my day.
Lots of love from Denver ❤️
Hey Shea,
Thanks so much for your super kind message! I would add everything to the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. I hope you love the recipe! xTieghan
Super delicious, especially on a cold night! Made this tonight and the chicken is so flavorful! Thank you.
Hey Lynn,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
Looks good! I know a lot of your recipes use coconut milk. In order to help stop the milk from separating when it hits that hot pan is to stir a little corn starch into the coconut milk before adding it to the pan. Also then lower the heat to make sure it stays at a true low simmer and stir constantly.
Hey Corey,
Thanks for your tip with the coconut milk! xTieghan
I just finished the last of the leftovers from this meal. I can’t wait to make it again, it was beyond delicious!
Hey Therese,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am glad you enjoyed it! xTieghan
I would like to offer some constructive criticism here…firstly, my feeling after making this was that if I had followed the basic instructions on a jar of red curry paste, the flavor would have been much fuller.
Once you cook the chicken, nothing will be crispy after you put it back into the curry so this shouldn’t be one of the descriptors. In your photos it looks more like the chicken was placed atop the curry than in it as is advised.
Last, it seems there is no advice to add palm sugar or brown sugar to the curry which is required to really tie everything together. I felt this was a waste of many extra ingredients and would be definitely disappointing to people who have eaten Thai curry before and a poor intro for first timers. It can be so much simpler!
Hey Sarah,
So sorry you did not enjoy this recipe, please let me know if I can help for next time! xTieghan
Made this last night. Followed instructions and ingredients (subbed broccoli for the Bok choy and used sesame oil). The meal was good, my family really liked it but I didn’t find it as flavourful as expected given the ingredients. I ate the leftovers today and the flavours just sang! Definitely recommend, it was easy to find ingredients/prepare. Next time I will make one day ahead for flavours to develop. Thanks Teighan!
Ps. Got your Simple cookbook for Christmas. Going to start testing recipes this weekend. 🙂
Hey Dina,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am glad you enjoyed it! xTieghan
What can be used instead of coconut milk? Is there an alternative that
would work best? Love the recipe – can’t do coconut milk due to a family alergy.
Hey Susan,
Really any milk that you enjoy will work here! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Been looking at this recipe for days and finally made it last night. Hubby and I couldn’t stop saying “WOW!” as we ate – such good flavor and much needed comfort food on a cold night. Swapped the bok choy for kale and added sambal for heat. This belongs in regular rotation, we already have plans to make for friends this weekend! Thanks, Tieghan!
Hey Rachel,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am glad you enjoyed it! xTieghan
This recipe was incredibly easy and delicious -a perfect weekday winter dish!
Hey Tasha,
Thank you so much for making the recipe. I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Made this tonight and it was a HIT! My whole family loved it. I added some sweet potatoes to it, it was delicious! Perfect dish for a cold, winter night!
Hey Gabby,
Thank you so much for making the recipe. I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
This recipe was delish and perfect on a cold winter night with some Asian spicy chilli oil.
Love your super simple hardcover btw it’s literally gotten me and my girlfriend through the lockdowns / quarantines.
Thanks Tieghan!
Hey Spence,
Thank you so much for making the recipe. I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Wow made this for the family tonight and it came out DELICIOUS! Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
Hey Larissa,
Thank you so much for making the recipe. I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Delicious as always! Will definitely be a weekly staple!
Hey Alyssa,
Thank you so much for making the recipe. I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
I made this last night and it was reallyyyy good. Not something I would typically make so it was fun. I did add the juice of a whole lime to the sauce, and then added more once I served it. I think next time I may serve it with rice since the sauce isn’t super thick so it can absorb all the goodness. Anyway, this was awesome and thank you for sharing!
Hey Sara,
Thank you so much for making the recipe. I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
So good! The turmeric brings a very earthy spicy flavor to the dish. Bok choy is one of my favorites. I love when a recipe that uses it. And again, as with all HBH recipes, everyone loved it and asked for seconds.
Hey Alja,
Thank you so much for making the recipe. I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
This was my first experience cooking AND eating curry and oh my word I’m obsessed. This dish is amazing…go and make it…right now… !!!!!
Hey Kristi,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
This is incredibly flavorful and so delicious. I made it in 30 minutes and everyone loved it. Thank you for a yummy recipe. Def will make again! I used coconut cream with some broth since it was all I had— recommend using fish sauce.
Hey Ann,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
Wonderful cozy meal. Needs to lime juice on top. Will enjoy this frequently. Used half bok choy and half baby kale. So yummy. Might try brown rice instead of rice noodles next time.
Hey Cheryl,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
Thankyou!! This was easy & delicious!!!! Thankyou for always providing the very best recipes!!! Loved it
Hey Debbie,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
Could I use green Thai curry paste instead?
Hey Angie,
Sure, that would work well. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this recipe last night. Exactly as you had said. It was really good thank you. However, it was soooooo salty. I had to put 4 cups of coconut milk, add juice of a whole lemon and lots of cilantro and basil. Then it tasted fine with rice noodle. The Asian store didnt have Thai Kitchen curry paste just a very tradition Thai brand.
Hey Simi,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try, so sorry you found this to be salty! xTieghan
Another amazing recipe! Family loved it! You are my go to site when I’m looking for something yummy to make for dinner!
Hey Lisa,
Thanks so much for making the recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Made this last night, soooooo gooooddd!!! Everyone loved it!! Next time will use 2 cans/4 cups coconut milk to get more soup. Really wish there were leftovers…..
Hey Molly,
Thanks so much for making the recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Soooooo delicious!!!! I had to alter it a bit for our fam. One of the kids is sensitive to coconut milk so I used one cup of it (they seem good with smallish amount) and then I used 3 more cups of organic chicken broth, if slightly less creamy. The recipe is so so full of flavour!!! And I really appreciate reading everything step by step. Your insights as you cook are invaluable!! Thank you!! Another wonderful recipe that’s already been printed out and is in my family recipe book!
Hey Shell,
Thanks so much for making the recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Hi! I tried this and loved the results, but if I wanted to make it with a bit more spice,,, what would you add??
Hey Cynde,
Thanks so much for making the recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! You could use cayenne or chili flakes for more spice. xTieghan
This was excellent! Easy to make and so so good. I added some sweet potato and a bell pepper because I had it on hand, and I used only one can of coconut milk because it’s all I had. Finishing it off with some lime juice really made a difference!
Hey Joanna,

Tieghan, this recipe is fantastic! So flavourful and satisfying! I have to agree that the fish sauce is key. 🙂
Hey Pam,
I am so glad the recipe worked out for you! Thanks for making it:) Happy Friday! xTieghan
This was SO delicious! We got snow on Sunday and our power went out, but I was still able to make this on our gas stove…it was perfect for a snowy night! Definitely a keeper.
Hey Brittany,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for making it! I hope you have an awesome weekend:) xTieghan
We are trying this tonight because it looks soooo yummy! I have a question. 3 cans of full fat coconut milk seems like an awful lot of fat, and I am trying to avoid too much fat in my diet. Would swapping out a cup of the coconut milk with chicken broth be ok? I know it won’t be as creamy, but it will save at least a little fat. Thank you in advance!
Hey Collanne,
Yes that would be fine to do. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I made this for Friday night dinner and it was INCREDIBLE! As two Aussies used to the best Thai food, adrift in Europe, we were transported home. Thank you 🙏
Hey Claire,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for making it! I hope you have an awesome weekend:) xTieghan
Adding this recipe to our dinner rotation! To all the vegans/vegetarians out there, I easily swapped the chicken for 2 packages of Sweet Earth Chick’n and it worked beautifully! Charring the bok choy was a real treat – I could have eaten a plate of just that! Delicious meal!
Hey Emily,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for making it! I hope you have an awesome weekend:) xTieghan
Red curry is typically spicy. Can I use green instead?
Made this recipe and it was amazing! I love curry and this was top notch. I did let it simmer towards the end a little longer and added the fish sauce as recommended.
Super yummy! Easy to put together and so flavorful. Whole family loved it, even the picky eater!
