  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Noodles

  • 8 ounces rice noodles or gluten-free spaghetti

Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons creamy unsalted peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or tamari
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime

Garnishes

  • Fresh cilantro
  • Chopped green onions
  • Peanuts and/or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Heat sesame oil and cook curry paste: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute until fragrant and aromatic.
  3. Add garlic and chili flakes: Stir in the chopped garlic and optional chili flakes, cooking for another minute to release their flavors.
  4. Make the peanut curry sauce: Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, peanut butter, lime juice, coconut sugar, and coconut aminos or tamari. Whisk everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Continue simmering and whisking until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Toss noodles in sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly and warm through.
  6. Garnish and serve: Serve the noodles topped with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of peanuts and/or sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nut flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili flakes or add fresh chopped chilies.
  • For added protein, toss in cooked tofu, chicken, or shrimp.
  • Use gluten-free tamari to keep the recipe gluten free.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently to prevent drying out.
