Recipe for Khow Suey. Noodle soup made with veggies in a coconut milk sauce served with condiments. Recipe with step by step pictures.

We are bowl people in the house. We love bowl lunches and noodle soups are a favorite. Even though traditionally Khow Suey is served with egg noodles, I like to serve it with rice noodles. I also add a lot of veggies so it becomes a very healthy meal. Here is how to make Khow Suey my style.

Khow Suey Sauce / Gravy
Heat coconut oil in a pan and add in the finely minced ginger and garlic. Add in the sliced onions and the green chillies. Saute for a couple of minutes until the onions are soft.

Add in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, pepper powder, red chilli flakes, sugar and the salt. The flavour of turmeric is very important for Khow Suey. I like to add red chilli flakes and not red chilli powder as the flakes does not change the colour of the curry but packs in the necessary heat. Saute on a low flame for a minute.

Take a bowl and add in the water ( one cup ) and besan flour (chickpea flour). Whisk well to combine. Make sure there are no lumps and if in case the mixture looks lumpy, strain it.

Add in the besan slurry to the pan. It will instantly thicken up. Add in one more cup of water.
Note: Instead of water, you can also add thin pressed coconut milk

Add in the lemon grass and kaffir lime leaves (makroot leaves). The flavour of lemon grass and lime leaves is very important for the success of this recipe. Add in the veggies and cashews. Add the hard veggies that take longer time to cook first. I added carrots, beans and the stem part of the broccoli.

Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Add in the 200ml of thick coconut milk and broccoli. Simmer for two to three minutes. Do not cook the broccoli for long. It will become mushy.

Add in the diced red bell pepper and remove from heat. The red bell pepper will cook in the residual heat while retaining its crunch. Do not cook the red bell pepper for long. The sauce is ready.

Condiments
Generally the condiments are deep fried. I like to pan fry to keep it healthy.
Take a pan and add in a teaspoon of oil. Add in the sliced shallots and cook till the shallots are nice and brown. Set aside.

With the little oil remaining in the pan, add in the peanuts and slowly roast them until golden. Remove and set aside to cool. You can remove the skin or serve as is.

In the same pan, add in the sliced garlic and saute till the garlic is nice and brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
