THAI RED CURRY NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions. Undercook them just slightly, we'll continue cooking them a bit in the sauce.
• In a small pot or skillet, add the minced garlic, grated ginger and olive oil. Saute until the garlic looks slightly golden brown.
• Add the coconut milk and all remaining ingredients to the pot (aside from the cornstarch) with the garlic and whisk until smooth.
• Bring to a boil, whisk in the corn starch, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• Once the noodles are done cooking, combine the sauce with the noodles and let simmer over low heat to let it thicken further and finish cooking the noodles. It will seem saucy at first, but the noodles will absorb a lot of the sauce as it sits. If you don't like it too saucy, start with just 1/2 of the sauce with the noodles at first and add more as desired. I usually serve it with other veggies/protein, which is why I made it create a lot of sauce, but feel free to start small if you prefer that!
• Garnish with cilantro, scallions and red pepper flakes. Serve with your favorite protein, sauteed or steamed vegetables, or enjoy as is!

COCONUT RED CURRY SAUCE AND NOODLES

Whisk in the coconut milk, and then add the cabbage, carrots and tofu and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey, scallions, lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly, and then toss over the noodles.

RED COCONUT CURRY NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, scoop the cream off the top of each can of coconut and put it in the pot. The cream will be used as the "fat" instead of oil or butter. Along with the cream, add the curry paste and ginger. Let this simmer, stirring constantly, for about one minute.
• Add the chicken and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Add the coconut milk, sweet Thai chili sauce, cilantro, and chicken broth. Bring this to a simmer.
• Add the red pepper, broccoli slaw and/or carrots and noodles and salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom, for about 5-8 minutes. The noodles will thicken and plump up as they absorb the liquid. The mixture will be slightly soupy when the noodles are finished cooking.
• Take the pot off the heat and let the noodles sit for about 5 minutes. The mixture will continue to thicken. Garnish with more cilantro, if desired.
