Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil

  • 2–3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup

  • Juice of ½ lime (plus wedges for serving)

  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes or sriracha (optional, for heat)

For the Noodles & Veggies:

  • 8 oz rice noodles (flat or vermicelli style)

  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 2 cups baby spinach or chopped kale

  • Fresh cilantro, for topping

  • Optional: tofu, shrimp, or chicken

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles:
    Prepare rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

  2. Make the Sauce:
    Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add red curry paste, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
    Stir in coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and chili flakes if using. Simmer gently for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

  3. Add Veggies & Protein:
    Stir in carrots, bell pepper, and spinach. Cook for 2–3 minutes until just tender. If adding tofu, shrimp, or chicken, stir in now and cook until done or heated through.

  4. Combine with Noodles:
    Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Add a splash of water or broth if the sauce is too thick.

  5. Serve:
    Top with fresh cilantro and extra lime wedges. Serve warm.

 

Notes

  • Adjust spice level by using more or less curry paste.

  • For extra protein, add boiled eggs, tofu, or sautéed shrimp.

  • Sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
