Ingredients

  • Chicken - Boneless skinless chicken breast, tenders or thighs.
  • Thai Red Curry paste - Choose authentic without additives or flavor enhancers.
  • Coconut milk - Choose full fat for super creamy sauce!
  • Rice noodles - Tend to hold their shape better than egg noodles. You can also use spaghetti or fettuccine.

Storing Leftovers

  • To Store. After preparation, these curry noodles will last in the fridge for approximately 5 days. Allow them to cool before transferring them to an airtight container for optimal freshness.
  • Avoid freezing as rice noodles tend to disintegrate upon thawing, compromising texture. Although the flavor remains intact, the noodles lose their integrity over time.

Reheating

Julia's Tip

The sauce will naturally thicken once cooled when reheating; add extra liquid to return the initial consistency.

How To Make Curry Noodles Step By Step

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions.
  2. Slice chicken and cook briefly on high heat (about 3 minutes on both sides). Add onion and curry paste and stir well. You'll need to cook the curry paste for a minute or so to bring out the flavors and spices.
  3. Follow with bell pepper strips, garlic, and ginger. Cook for about 1 minute, and then stir in the coconut milk.
  4. Meanwhile, mix lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a smaller bowl. Add to the pan.
  5. Bring the sauce to a boil, add the noodles, and reduce the heat. Close the lid and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Garnish with lime wedges and sesame seeds.

Tips

  • If you like your Thai stir fry noodles more saucy, simply add ½ cup of boiled water to your sauce while cooking.
  • No salt is added here, as the sauce is quite salty already. Do not add a lot of salt while boiling the noodles.
  • You may need to add more liquid when reheating, as the dish will become thick once cooled.
  • We love to serve this stir fry with lots of toppings (try this pickled daikon radish) and salads such as spicy cucumber salad.

5 Star Review

I made this tonight, only thing different was I added more veggies. But let me tell you, my husband is Fijian and his mom makes amazing curries, so he’s tough to impress sometimes. But he and I, as well as our two teen boys LOVED this! Easy to prep everything ahead of time too for busy nights! Thank you!

FAQs

Does curry taste good with noodles?

The curry sauce is perfect for mixing with rice noodles, egg noodles, or spaghetti! In this recipe we added coconut milk and Thai red curry paste which makes the chicken taste extra juicy and tender!

Do you cook curry paste first?

YES, it would be best if you cooked curry paste first to bring out its flavors before adding other ingredients.

Is red curry paste spicy?

Traditional red curry paste is indeed fiery and spicy; however, you may find milder options in grocery stores. It will depend on the brand!
