Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 8 ounces rice noodles or gluten-free spaghetti
Sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon 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, for topping
- Green onions, sliced, for topping
- Peanuts and/or sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
- Cook rice noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them thoroughly and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Make the red curry peanut sauce: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the curry paste and cook while stirring frequently for about 1 minute until it becomes aromatic. Add the chopped garlic and optional chili flakes, cooking for an additional minute to release flavors.
- Combine sauce ingredients: Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, and peanut butter. Add the lime juice, coconut sugar, and coconut aminos or tamari. Whisk all ingredients together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly while stirring constantly.
- Toss noodles in the sauce: Add the cooked noodles directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the noodles thoroughly and warm them through, ensuring every strand is infused with the rich red curry peanut flavor.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer the coated noodles to serving plates and top with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of peanuts and/or sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful gluten-free dish!
Notes
- Use gluten-free tamari as a soy sauce alternative to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- The chili flakes are optional; adjust based on your preferred spice level.
- For a vegan version, ensure the curry paste contains no shrimp paste or fish sauce.
- You can substitute peanut butter with other nut butters like almond butter if preferred.
- Stir the sauce continuously when simmering to prevent burning or sticking to the skillet.
