• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk

How to Make Coconut Curry Noodle Bowl

1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in the red curry paste, mixing well with the onion, garlic, and ginger for about 1 minute.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Add the soy sauce and lime juice, then toss in the sliced bell peppers and snow peas. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Incorporate the cooked rice noodles into the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the curry sauce.
8. Remove from heat and serve the noodle bowl topped with fresh cucumber slices, cilantro, and sliced chili if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to rinse the rice noodles after cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
• Adjust the amount of red curry paste according to your spice preference.
• For a richer flavor, let the curry sauce simmer a little longer before adding the vegetables.
• Fresh herbs like Thai basil or mint can add an extra layer of flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the vegetables for whatever you have on hand, such as broccoli, carrots, or zucchini.
• Add protein such as tofu, shrimp, or chicken for a heartier meal.
• Use whole wheat noodles or gluten-free rice noodles to suit dietary preferences.
• For a vegan option, ensure the soy sauce is labeled gluten-free if needed.

What to Serve With It

• A side of spring rolls for a light appetizer.
• A simple green salad with a sesame dressing.
• Crispy fried tofu for added protein.
• A refreshing mango salad to complement the curry flavors.
