Red Curry Noodles

Red curry noodles are a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines tender noodles with a rich and spicy red curry sauce. Here’s a simple recipe to make red curry noodles:

Ingredients:

8 oz (about 225g) rice noodles or any noodles of your choice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2-3 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to taste)
1 can (14 oz or 400ml) coconut milk
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar or palm sugar
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 carrot, julienned
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Optional protein: cooked chicken, tofu, shrimp, or any protein of your choice
Fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges for serving
Instructions:

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the red curry paste to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to toast the curry paste.

Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and brown sugar or palm sugar. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, and any protein you’re using (if raw). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the protein is cooked through.

Once the vegetables and protein are cooked, add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the red curry sauce and heated through.

Taste the noodles and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or sugar if needed.

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the red curry noodles hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges.

Enjoy your delicious and aromatic red curry noodles!

Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other vegetables or protein options according to your preference. You can also adjust the spiciness of the dish by adding more or less red curry paste.
