Coconut Curry Noodles

Curry and noodles, two of my favorite things all in one perfectly spiced bowl! I know that temperatures are dropping almost everywhere (except for Florida, classic) and this dish is the perfect way to warm up from the inside and it is possibly the most comforting thing I have ever made! If you are not a huge fan of spice, I would recommend reducing the amount of cayenne and pepper flakes that I added to this recipe, as I enjoy things hotter than the average person. You’ll find the recipe below, enjoy!

Coconut Curry Noodles

Ingredients:

2 teaspoon olive oil (or ghee if not vegan)

1 shallot, diced

1 onion, diced

5 cloves garlic (chopped)

1 inch grated ginger

1 teaspoon green curry paste

1 teaspoon red curry paste

1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder

1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

32 oz low-sodium vegetable broth

1 can full fat coconut milk

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1/3 cup peanut butter

Brown rice noodles

Optional: Tofu, additional vegetables, mushrooms, and lime for topping

Directions:

1. Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add olive oil. Add in chopped onion and shallot and sauté until translucent. Add in garlic and ginger until fragrant.

2. Add in both the green and red curry pastes, the cayenne, and red pepper and stir until the mixture is coated and reduce heat to low.

3. Next, add in the vegetable broth and coconut milk and allow to simmer.

4. Add in the soy sauce and rice vinegar and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes. Then, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

6. In a separate pot, begin to cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Strain the noodles and set aside. You could also simply add the noodles into the pot and cook them according to the directions in the broth.

8. Serve immediately, and add in any additional optional toppings.
