Vegan Khao Soi (With Oyster Mushrooms)
Description
Vegan Khao Soi uses oyster mushrooms sautéed until golden to form the base of its curry broth. Red curry paste and turmeric add warm spices, while coconut milk and vegetable broth create a rich, creamy soup. Miso paste and soy sauce deepen the umami profile, and a splash of lime juice brightens the flavors just before serving. The broth is gently simmered to meld the ingredients.
Fresh egg noodles are cooked separately and assembled in bowls topped with the mushroom curry. Garnishes like thinly sliced shallots, scallions, cilantro, bean sprouts, and fried onions add contrasting textures and freshness that enhance the bowl’s complexity. The broth balances creaminess and spice without overpowering the mushrooms’ texture.
This dish can be prepared ahead and keeps for 4-5 days refrigerated, making it useful for meal prep. Reheating gently in intervals preserves the flavorful broth and tender mushrooms, offering a convenient way to enjoy a comforting vegan noodle curry throughout the week.
