Bangkok coconut curry noodles

4 portions

Ingredients:
for the coconut curry sauce:
1 tablespoon oil
2 shallots
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons red curry paste
400ml can regular coconut milk
1/2 cup veggie broth (optional – see notes)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon hot chili paste (sambal oelek)
3 tablespoons soy sauce

for the bowls:

120g rice noodles
1 tablespoon oil
half an onion, chopped
100g cup chopped broccoli florets
2 shredded carrots
175g chopped asparagus
90g shredded purple cabbage

For serving (optional)

Sesame seeds for topping
Limes for serving
A handful of fresh basil for serving

Preparation:

Noodles: Soak the noodles in a bowl of cold water. Start this right away – they need at least 20 minutes or so of soaking. When they’re soft, drain and rinse.

Sauce: Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the shallots and ginger; stir fry for 3-5 minutes. Add the curry paste; stir fry for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, sugar, chili paste and soy sauce. Simmer for 15 minutes or so while you prep the rest of the ingredients – it should thicken slightly. If you’re adding the broth to make the sauce go farther, you might need a little extra simmer time for the sauce to thicken.

Vegetables and Assembly: In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the onion, carrots, broccoli, and asparagus. Stir fry for about 5 minutes until the broccoli and asparagus are bright green. Add the noodles and toss around in the pan with the vegetables. Add the sauce and toss together until just combined (if you cook it too long at this point, the noodles might get too sticky). Serve topped with the purple cabbage and sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime or basil leaves if you want.
