Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces brown rice noodles
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 34 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 12 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 4 large cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • Juice from 1 lime (about 12 tbsp)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (tapioca or arrowroot work too)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. cook noodles
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions. Undercook them just slightly, we’ll continue cooking them a bit in the sauce.
  2. saute garlic
    In a small pot or skillet, add the minced garlic, grated ginger and olive oil. Saute until the garlic looks slightly golden brown.
  3. whisk together
    Add the coconut milk and all remaining ingredients to the pot (aside from the cornstarch) with the garlic and whisk until smooth.
  4. boil
    Bring to a boil, whisk in the corn starch, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. combine with sauce
    Once the noodles are done cooking, combine the sauce with the noodles and let simmer over low heat to let it thicken further and finish cooking the noodles.
  6. stir
    It will seem saucy at first, but the noodles will absorb a lot of the sauce as it sits. If you don’t like it too saucy, start with just 1/2 of the sauce with the noodles at first and add more as desired.
  7. add veggies
    I usually serve it with other veggies/protein, which is why I made it with a lot of sauce, but feel free to start small if you prefer that!
  8. garnish and serve
    Garnish with cilantro, scallions and red pepper flakes. Serve with your favorite protein, sauteed or steamed vegetables, or enjoy as is!

Notes

  • Undercook noodles slightly as they will finish cooking in the sauce.
  • If you don’t like it too saucy, start with half of the sauce and add more as desired.
  • Serve with veggies or protein for a more complete meal.
