Cooking Steps
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside, leaving the delicious drippings behind.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and sliced carrots. Sauté for about 4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the carrots soften slightly. Stir in the red curry paste, ginger, and garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot, pouring in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes.
- Remove the chicken, shred it, and return to the pot, stirring well.
- Gently stir in the rice vermicelli, mushrooms, red bell pepper, and cauliflower florets. Allow to cook for about 4-5 minutes or until noodles are nearly cooked through.
- Finally, stir in fresh cilantro and lime juice, adjusting seasoning with sriracha. Simmer for another minute before serving.
