Cost Breakdown
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.
