Ingredients

• 8 oz rice noodles
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish
• Cooked white rice for serving

How to Make Coconut Curry Noodles with Rice

1. Begin by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.
2. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli florets to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
4. Stir in the red curry paste, allowing it to coat the vegetables evenly, cooking for another minute.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, mixing well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Add the rice noodles to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and have absorbed some of the sauce.
7. Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice for added flavor. Adjust seasoning as needed.
8. Serve the coconut curry noodles hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves, alongside a scoop of fluffy white rice.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure you don’t overcook the vegetables; they should remain slightly crisp for the best texture.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add more curry paste or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• For a heartier meal, consider adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu into the mix.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the rice noodles for whole wheat noodles or zoodles for a healthier twist.
• Use seasonal vegetables like zucchini or carrots based on what you have on hand.
• For a vegan option, ensure your curry paste is free from animal products.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy spring rolls for an added crunch.
• A light cucumber salad to balance the richness of the curry.
• Steamed dumplings for a satisfying side dish.
