This golden coconut noodle soup is creamy, fragrant, and ready in about 30 minutes. Turmeric, ginger, garlic, tender egg noodles, crisp sugar snap peas, and soft-boiled eggs make it a comforting bowl with bright, fresh flavor.
Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower in the eggs and cook for 7 minutes for soft, slightly runny yolks or 8 minutes for firmer yolks. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and leave them to cool.
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook for about 5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well, then toss with 1 tbsp vegetable oil to stop the noodles from sticking.
Prepare the aromatics while the noodles cook. Crush or finely grate the garlic, measure the ginger puree, and have the turmeric ready.
Return the medium saucepan to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the turmeric and stir for 30 seconds to bloom the spice.
Pour in the low-salt stock, reduced-fat coconut milk, soy sauce, and light brown sugar. Stir well, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 2 minutes so the flavors come together.
Slice the sugar snap peas diagonally, then add them to the simmering soup. Cook for 1 minute, just until bright green and crisp-tender. Thinly slice the spring onions.
Divide the noodles among 4 bowls. Ladle the hot coconut broth and sugar snap peas over the top. Peel the cooled eggs, halve them, and place 2 halves on each bowl. Finish with sliced spring onions and coriander leaves.
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. Do not boil the coconut milk hard, as it can split; keep it at a gentle simmer. Rinse the eggs under cold water as you peel them to help loosen the shells. Leftover broth can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but store noodles separately so they do not become soggy.
