Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • ½ cup chopped green beans
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Protein of your choice: cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  • While noodles are cooking, heat oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and red curry paste, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in coconut milk, broth, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), brown sugar, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer.
  • Add broccoli, carrots, and green beans. Cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • If using, add cooked protein and heat through.
  • Divide noodles among serving bowls. Top with curry mixture, protein (if using), and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  1. Adjust the amount of red curry paste and red pepper flakes to your desired spice level.
  2. For a vegan version, omit the fish sauce and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can also add tofu or tempeh as a protein option.
