Notes

  • For spicier soup, increase the amount of red curry paste according to your taste.
  • You can substitute beef strips with thinly sliced chicken or tofu for variations.
  • If unavailable, peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter or omitted for a different flavor.
  • Make sure not to overcook the beef strips to keep them tender.
  • Rice noodles cook quickly; avoid overcooking to keep their texture firm.
