Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 yellow onion (small, finely diced)
3 clove garlic (minced)
1.5 fresh gingers (1.5-inch piece, grated)
0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
4 cup chicken broth
13.5 fluid ounce full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon fish sauce
0.5 teaspoon salt
2 package konjac noodles (7 ounces each, rinsed and drained)
3 eggs (large, lightly beaten)
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
2 limes (wedges, for serving)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the finely diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and ground turmeric. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and full-fat coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the fish sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Add the rinsed and drained konjac noodles to the simmering broth. Cook for 3-5 minutes to heat them through.
Slowly pour the lightly beaten eggs into the simmering soup in a thin stream, stirring gently in one direction with a fork or chopsticks. The eggs will cook into delicate ribbons.
Remove the soup from the heat. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a lime wedge, if desired.

Notes

Konjac noodles have a unique texture; rinse them thoroughly to reduce any aroma from the packaging. For extra protein, you could add cooked shredded chicken.
