Even though it’s a brutally spicy dish (which you can easily reduce with less chili or just omit it completely), because of its lightness and the flavor of the coconut, it’s perfect if you're craving something cooked and hot even in this killing summer heat. What I also really like about this recipe is that it perfectly evokes the Thai taste without the need of any special ingredient or spices. You can also easily leave out the meat if you want to turn it into a vegetarian or even vegan version. I hope you will like it and enjoy every bite (spoon?) of this comfort food.

Instructions

Firstly, melt the coconut oil in a huge pan. Add the onion, garlic and chili, season with salt and pepper and cook until caramelized. Then add the chopped carrots and cook using high heat until nicely roasted. Then add the chicken and roast until it becomes white on the outside.
Then add the coconut milk and some hot water to reach the perfect thickness. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is cooked through (about 20 minutes).
Lastly, add the cilantro and lime juice into the soup. Serve hot or even room temperature if desired.

The picture shows some type of noodle? What is a white carrot? Parsnip? Turnip? Daikin? Please clarify. Thanks.
