For the soup
- 200 ml (6.7 oz) coconut milk

- 400 g (14.1) oz pumpkin in cubes

Instructions
This recipe is based on this recipe by My Food Story
- Cut the ginger, cilantro and spring onion into very small pieces. Put those together with all the spices and a splash of lemon juice in a bowl. Make this into a paste using a hand blender.
- Boil the pumpkin cubes in a pan with boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain them well and use a hand mixer to make a pumpkin puree.
- Heat some oil in a soup pan and add the spice paste. Fry this for two minutes while you stir now and then. Add the pumpkin puree, fish sauce and 600 ml stock.
- Scrub the oyster mushrooms clean, cut them into pieces and add them together with the sugar and a pinch of salt to the soup.
- Bring the soup to a boil and leave to boil for about 10 minutes.
- Boil the noodles according to the instruction on the package. Drain them and rinse them with cold water, so they don’t stick.
- Add, after 10 minutes of cooking, the rest of the stock and the coconut milk. Leave the soup to boil for another 5 minutes.
- Add some fresh basil and the noodles to the soup and stir together. Turn off the heat and leave the soup to rest for 5 minutes with the lid on the pan.
- Serve the soup with some extra basil and chopped peanuts.
