Instructions

  1. Wash the drumsticks. Score each drumstick twice. This helps them cook evenly and lets the rich flavors soak in.
  2. In a wok or pot, simmer 10floz (300ml) of coconut milk over medium heat for about 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it thickens and the oil begins to separate.
  3. Stir in the red curry paste and yellow curry powder until the mixture is smooth and well-blended with the reduced coconut milk.
  4. Add the drumsticks to the curry base. Make sure each piece is evenly coated. Then, pour in the remaining coconut milk.
  5. Mix in fish sauce and palm sugar. Let the curry simmer gently on low heat for 20–30 minutes. The chicken should be completely cooked through. If the sauce feels too thick, feel free to add a splash of water (about 3.4floz/100ml).
  6. Heat a generous amount of oil in a separate pan. Fry a small handful of egg noodles until they’re crispy – this should take about 30 seconds. For the remaining noodles, boil them until al dente, then drain well.
  7. Place a portion of the boiled noodles in a bowl. Ladle the aromatic chicken curry over them. Top with crispy noodles and add seasonings to taste.

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Red curry paste: Use my Thai red curry paste recipe or Mae Ploy / Maesri for store-bought.
  • If possible, store leftover broth, chicken, noodles, and garnishes separate in airtight containers.
