Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the chicken

In a large sauce pot, cover the chicken with 4½ cups [6½ cups] lightly salted water, making sure the thighs are separated, and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until opaque and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate to cool, reserving the cooking water in the pot for the soup. Using a fork, shred the chicken.
While the chicken cooks, start the noodles.

Cook the noodles

Bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Make the soup

To the pot with the water used for the chicken, stir in the curry base, coconut milk, and half the fish sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the flavors are incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the noodles, shredded chicken, and greens. Cook until the noodles and chicken are warmed through and the greens are just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, and as much of the remaining fish sauce as you like.
While the soup simmers, prepare the garnishes.

Prep the garnishes

Cut the lime into wedges.
Strip the herb leaves from the stems, leaving several small clusters intact.

Serve

Transfer the soup to individual bowls and garnish with the herbs and fried shallots. Serve with the lime wedges.
