3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

400ml coconut milk

500ml vegetable or chicken broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce (or additional soy sauce for a vegetarian version)

1 bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow)

1 cup snap peas (or green beans)

200g tofu or chicken breast, cubed (optional)

1 cup baby spinach

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Red chili flakes, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Noodles: Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Add Curry Paste: Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to deepen.

        Incorporate Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and broth, stirring well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

          Flavor It Up: Add the soy sauce and fish sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

            Vegetables and Protein: Add the bell pepper and snap peas (or green beans) to the pot. If using tofu or chicken, add it now and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through or tofu is heated.

              Finish with Greens: Stir in the baby spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.

                Serve: Divide the cooked noodles into bowls. Pour the hot soup over the noodles. Squeeze lime juice on top and garnish with fresh cilantro and red chili flakes, if desired.
