Whether you call it pakuchi, coriander or cilantro, the aromatic herb has tons of fans worldwide (sometimes referred to as “phakchists”), and this super-spicy curry soup is packed with 10 different spices and plenty of pakuchi, as well as delicate rice-flour noodles! Just add hot water, cover and steep for 3 minutes, then stir and enjoy your taste adventure!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts and a little coriander of my own. The noodles were are little on the tough side even after the 3 minutes allotted. However the broth more than made up for that with a rich and tasty curry. As far as being spicy, it was spicy but very mellow heat-level. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4902105064351.
