A flavorful and creamy coconut broth infused with red curry served over udon noodles and topped with tender poached cod.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (about 5.3 oz each), skinless and boneless
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (canola or sunflower)
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 red chili, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 1¾ cups coconut milk
- 2 cups fish or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
- 10.6 oz fresh udon noodles
- 5.3 oz baby spinach
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 3.5 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced chili. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add red curry paste to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to release the flavors.
- Pour in coconut milk and fish or vegetable stock. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice to the broth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Carefully slide cod fillets into the simmering broth. Cover and poach gently for 6 to 8 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Meanwhile, cook udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain thoroughly and divide among 4 serving bowls.
- Add spinach, julienned carrots, and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the broth. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
- Remove poached cod fillets from the broth and set aside. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables evenly over the noodles in each bowl.
- Top each noodle bowl with a poached cod fillet. Garnish with sliced spring onions and fresh coriander leaves. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier broth, feel free to add more red chili or including chili flakes.
- You can substitute cod with other white fish, if desired.
- Ensure not to overcook the cod to keep it tender.
