Sukhothai Noodle Soup Recipe | เกี๋ยวเตี๋ยวสุโขทัย
Just like your mom's comforting chicken noodle soup, but with an exotic Thai zing to it. This is the quick, healthy version. But if you don’t have hours like us, and enjoy chicken, try this out. The classic soup is made by boiling pork for hours and making your own broth, which is so delicious too.

Preparations
-
Step 1
If using chicken breasts, cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Or just put the chicken parts in the chicken broth and water. Boil the chicken until done, then let it simmer.
-
Step 2
While boiling the chicken, boil water and cook the rice noodles. Then drain.
*Rice noodles cook very fast, so be sure to read the package and make them accordingly so they don't get too done.
-
Step 3
Boil water for the green beans. Cut the green beans at an angle, and then blanch them in the boiling water until done but not mushy. Drain.
-
Step 4
Now while everything is boiling and cooking on its own, chop the peanuts, lime, cilantro and garlic.
-
Step 5
Time to fry the garlic. Pour the olive oil in a small pan, turn the burner to med-high, then put in the garlic right away while the pan is warming. Move the garlic very quickly, so that it doesn't burn. If it looks like its cooking too fast, move the pan off the burner and turn down the burner. Once it is light brown, take it out and put it in a dish with the oil.

Step 6
Now the fun part. Add about a teaspoon or so of chili paste to your empty bowl. Then put in the green beans. Then the noodles, and the chicken and broth. For the toppings, add to your taste. I add a swirl of fish sauce, some sugar, a few taps of chili flakes, a few sprinkles of peanuts, a clump of cilantro and green onions and a spoon-ful of garlic.
