Description

Creamy, flavourful and comforting Thai-inspired red curry noodles with cabbage and bell pepper for a quick and easy dinner.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (15 g)
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced (70 g)
  • 1-inch piece ginger, minced or grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (135 g, 1¾ cup)
  • 3 tbsp red curry paste (45 g)
  • 3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage (190 g) 
  • 1 (14 oz) can coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar  (15 g)
  • 1 ½ tbsp soy sauce  (25 mL)
  • 1 lime, juiced (approx. 1-2 tbsp)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh Thai basil, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup roasted peanuts, optional 

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Cook noodles according to package directions. Slightly undercook, as the noodles will finish cooking in the pan. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. 
  2. Cook Aromatics: In a large non-stick pan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add shallots, bell peppers, ginger and garlic. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  3. Add Curry Paste: Add red curry paste. Cook for 1 min, stirring constantly, until fragrant. 
  4. Finish Red Curry Sauce: Add cabbage, coconut milk, coconut sugar and soy sauce. Let simmer for 3-5 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced (thickened).
  5. Finish Noodles: Add the noodles, lime juice and cilantro to the sauce. Toss well to combine, until noodles are coated and have absorbed some of the sauce.
  6. Serve: Garnish with Thai basil and peanuts, if using. Serve a lime wedge on the side.
