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

  • 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. 
  • 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.
  • Add red curry paste. Cook for 1 min, stirring constantly, until fragrant. 
  • Add cabbage, coconut milk, coconut sugar and soy sauce. Let simmer for 3-5 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced (thickened).
  • 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.
  • Garnish with Thai basil and peanuts, if using. Serve a lime wedge on the side.
