Thai Fish Curry Noodles
In Thai cuisine, there are so many kinds of curries that you can serve it with noodles. Curries are most likely to serve with steamed rice, but sometimes it can be substitute with noodles like vermicelli. Kha Nom Jeen Nam Ya or Thai fish curry noodles is one of Thai traditions curry that serves with vermicelli noodles, fresh or steamed vegetables, and boiled eggs on the side.
Kha Nom Jeen Nam ya is locally from the central part of Thailand. The curry is made of spices and herbs such as lemongrass, shallots, garlic, galanga, rhizome, dried Thai peppers, fish, and coconut milk. Sounds like a lot isn't it? And that's what I feel with my life at this moment too. I tremendously miss Kha Nom Jeen Nam Ya but also have the feeling not to have enough energy to cook everything from scratch. I'm talking about starting from boiling the herbs and fish and muscly pound those herbs, take the fish bones out and grind the meat. My Oh My! Fortunately for the Measri company that makes all kinds of Thai curry paste and sauce. They also make Kha Nom Jeen Nam Ya paste which makes my life much easier when I am craving this Thai food.

The fortunate thing about living in a big city melting pot like Houston is we can find any type of grocery store and food around the world. We find the Nam Ya paste at the Asian grocery store close by our place, and I am very thankful for that. The reason I name this recipe "Instant Kha Nom Jeen Nam Ya" because it is super easy like when I make instant noodles. All I do is boil water and add the Nam Ya paste into the pot, cook the vermicelli, boil the eggs, and prepare the vegetables to eat with curry sauce.
