I am sad :( I really wanted to like this. I used thai green curry paste and I also omitted the lemongrass because I didn't have any. I also added brocolli instead of bok choy because my husband hates the texture of bok choy. The noodles were overcooked too, which was my fault for letting them sit that last 5 minutes. I am a good cook and was surprized at how bad this easy recipe turned out. My husband thanked me for my effort, but we threw it out and made one of the kids mac and cheese boxes ;) Expensive mistake! Help! I am wondering if the lemongrass really makes that much of a difference? <em>I'm sorry it turned out so bad for you Kim. The lemongrass does add a nice lemony zest of flavour to the soup, and with green curry paste it would go extremely well. It may also depend on how much curry paste you used - because green curry is slightly more pungent and robust in flavour as compared to yellow curry paste, you may want to try adding a little less of it next time. There's really not so much I can say here, other than play around with the flavours a few times to find a combination that you'll enjoy.

Am having a great time going through the archives. Perhaps this is a dumb question, but what kind of noodles do you use that can cook in five minutes but retain some substance? <em>Thanks Rooney, it's great to hear you're loving my recipes! Almost all noodles you find nowadays can be cooked within 2-5 minutes. Be it rice noodles, instant ramen or sometimes even spaghetti, they may all require simply a couple of minutes in boiling water to get done. For a quicker fix, I love using fresh noodles from the grocery store that need merely a few seconds under running water to separate them. Just make sure you read the instructions on the pack carefully and follow them accordingly. Hope that helps! </em> I love your site, having just discovered it a month or two ago.

This looks delicious. There is no measurement for the mushrooms, though. How many and of what type? Thanks, and I love the book club idea, too :-) Kim <em>Hi Kim! Since this is quite the create-as-you-go kinda dish, feel free to add in any kind of mushrooms you fancy.

It surely is an inspired version of Laksa TF, too bad my mom’s not here to make me a big bowl of it! I for one, can never get mine to taste as great as hers, so I settle for this quick take instead.
