Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
- 8 ounces thin rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced into bite-sized pieces (or whatever protein* you prefer)
- 4 to 6 cups sliced veggies (I used a mix of broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, onion and bell peppers)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon finely-minced fresh ginger
- toppings: lots of chopped fresh cilantro and/or Thai basil, chopped peanuts, fresh lime wedges
- 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock
- 1/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste, to taste
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
Method
Make the sauce. Beat all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
Leave the noodles just shy of al dente, according to package instructions. Tip off the noodles and keep nearby until ready to use. (If the noodles are ready considerably earlier than your veggies, It is worth briefly tossing the noodles with a drizzle of oil to prevent them from sticking to one another.)
Stir-fry the chicken (or other protein). Warm 1 tablespoon oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium-a hot burner. Tip in the sliced chicken and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Move the chicken to a clean plate and keep nearby.
Sauté the veggies. Tip in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the hot pan along with the veggies. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they nearly reach your desired level of doneness. Tip in in the garlic and ginger and sauté for 2 more minutes, stirring frequently.
Mix Tip in the sauce, cooked chicken and cooked noodles to the pan and toss the mixture for about 1 minute, until thoroughly combined.
Salt Taste and season the noodles with salt, pepper and/or extra lime juice as needed.
Plate Plate while it is hot, garnished with lots and lots of fresh toppings, and enjoy!
