Critical Success Points

  • Simmering the ribs for a full 45 minutes (and again after adding pork) to build a rich broth.
  • Sautéing the curry paste until fragrant – this unlocks the aromatics.
  • Seasoning the broth strongly before adding the noodles, as the noodles will dilute the flavor.

Safety Warnings

  • The broth is very hot – handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Raw pork and blood tofu should be kept refrigerated and cooked thoroughly.
  • Wear gloves when grinding dried chilies to avoid skin irritation.
