Thai Curried Noodle - Gueyteow Kak

Submitted by Rinshinomori

"This recipe starts off with beef cubes but you can use any leftover meat you may have too such as roast beef, grilled chicken, roast chicken, leftover pork etc for ease of preparation. In my recipe photo I used leftover roast beef. You can use less red curry paste if you do not care for too hot of soup. The recipe calls for 2 tsp red curry paste, but you can use only 1 tsp. If you cannot find rice flour noodle easily, you can substitute udon type noodles too. Right before serving I like to throw in sliced greens such as mizuna, lettuce, etc for texture and taste."
