Ingredients

Noodles

  • 8 ounces rice noodles or gluten-free spaghetti

Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons creamy unsalted peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or tamari
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime

Garnishes

  • Cilantro, chopped
  • Green onions, sliced
  • Peanuts and/or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook rice noodles: Prepare the rice noodles or gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set the noodles aside.
  2. Make the red curry peanut sauce: Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the curry paste and stir frequently for about 1 minute or until it becomes aromatic. Incorporate the chopped garlic and optional chili flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, and add the creamy peanut butter, lime juice, coconut sugar, and coconut aminos or tamari. Whisk the mixture together to combine all ingredients well and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  4. Simmer the sauce: Continue to simmer the sauce while whisking occasionally until it thickens slightly. This usually takes a few minutes and helps develop a rich, cohesive sauce.
  5. Toss noodles in sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss to coat the noodles completely, warming them through and ensuring each strand is covered in the flavorful sauce.
  6. Garnish and serve: Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and top with freshly chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of peanuts and/or sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, gluten-free noodle dish!

Notes

  • For extra protein, add cooked tofu, chicken, or shrimp to the dish.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your spice preference.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add additional vegetable broth gradually while simmering.
  • Use gluten-free tamari for a soy-free option or regular tamari if gluten is not a concern.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the noodles.
