Green Curry Noodle Soupwith tofu, napa, and mushrooms
Our recent green curry noodle soup was such a hit, we're bringing another variation of it with crunchy, sweet napa and earthy mushrooms. Plus, since it uses tofu, it's also a budget meal!
Smarts: Boiling the napa and mushrooms in the soup deepens the flavor of the final broth.

Made without tofu. Added Sriracha.
Really good!
Tofu just isn't my thing, I should have swapped for shrimp. Next time! The soup itself was very flavorful, it was just the tofu texture that puts me off.
Substituted tofu for the shrimp. But flavor was great!
It didn't look really appealing, but it was great comfort food.
I added zucchini noodles.
