INGREDIENT NOTES:

FISH SAUCE:

  • Here, we are using the fish sauce to include the umami flavour. If you don’t have the fish sauce, then go for soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos.

COCONUT MILK:

  • Always try to use the pure version of coconut milk with the full amount of fats. If you choose the diluted version, it may not be keto-friendly.

AROMATICS:

  • Ginger, garlic, & onion are the key items to give the dish its signature flavor & aroma. We suggest adding these to the dish.

KETO NOODLES:

  • These noodles are made from konjac root & have no carbs. You need to wash them in the proper way & also boil them a little bit. Otherwise, you may choose zucchini noodles.

PASTE OF RED CURRY:

  • Be alert to any added sugars while buying the red curry paste(Thai). It will give your dish heat & delicious flavor. Personalize it as per your taste.

JUICE OF LIME:

  • The use of citrus works as a taste enhancer. Always try to use fresh juice.

CHICKEN:

  • You can use any of the cooked chicken based on availability/liking. Here, we are using the rotisserie chicken(shredded).

FAQs:

How should we cook chicken for this soup?

  • Here, we are using the rotisserie chicken after shredding it. It is the simplest and quickest option. For the quickest work, you may use any leftover chicken(shredded). Otherwise, you can also use shredded chicken breasts or thighs after poaching them.

Is it possible to have the spicy soup?

  • It is totally up to your taste. This soup gives you the freedom to spice up or down the soup according to your taste.

Which type of noodles would pair perfectly with this soup on a keto diet?

  • Regular noodles(rice) are too high in carbs. Therefore, zucchini noodles(zoodles) or shirataki noodles(made from konjac root) will pair perfectly with this soup as they are zero-carb options.
