What is this Thai dish?!
It was a kind of soup with noodles and vegetables so it wasn't a thick curry that you would eat with rice.
It was very, very spicy, almost unbearable, yellow in color and it tasted like coconut.
Answers:
I don't have a name - sorry. It was probably closer to a stew and not a soup. It might have used an Indian curry paste with a Thai manufacture Mae Ploy makes some really good ready to use curries. It was mixed with coconut milk, you didn't say whether there was any meat or veggies but if your friends mom is Thai, she probably threw in whatever she had on hand,
I love spicy Thai food - or any spicy food for that matter.
tom yum perhaps?
this dish is usually red in color and generally don't use coconut milk.
main ingredients to flavor are lemon grass and lime leaves.and of course, tom yum paste.
