Burmese Coconut Soup: Ohn No Khao Swè

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. spaghetti noodles, cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or canola oil
  • 1 large onion, julienned
  • 1/2 serrano pepper, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon roasted crushed chili peppers
  • 2 chicken thighs, cubed, or ½ lb ground chicken (both work well!)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon roasted crushed chili pepper
  • 1 large English cucumber, julienned

Steps

  1. 1

    In a medium pot, heat oil over medium-low. Add onions and cook until caramelized.

  2. 2

    Add serrano pepper, garlic, and spices. Sauté until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add chicken and cook until about 75% done.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the pan with fish sauce. Add coconut milk and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer for about 20 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and flavors have developed. Taste and adjust seasoning—if you need more salt, I recommend adding a bit of fish sauce instead of plain salt.

  6. 6

    Serve with spaghetti noodles and top with your favorite garnishes.
