Ingredients
  

For the Curry Base:

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, minced

2 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust for spice preference)

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

2 cups vegetable broth

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Noodles:

8 oz rice noodles or egg noodles

Water for boiling

For Toppings:

1 cup snap peas or green beans

1 red bell pepper, julienned

1 carrot, thinly sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Noodles: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

    Make the Curry Base: In a large skillet or wok, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 4-5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

      Incorporate the Curry Paste: Add the red curry paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

        Add Coconut and Broth: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Flavor It Up: Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Continue to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Prepare the Vegetables: Add snap peas, bell pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Allow them to cook in the curry for about 3-5 minutes, or until just tender but still crisp.

              Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the curry sauce and vegetables. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing everything to heat through.

                Serve: Divide the Thai coconut curry noodles among bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
