What The Yummy Bowl fans are saying across different platforms:
I tried it! It came out delicious. my family really loved it. Everyone dished out twice. Pinterest
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! Nikki, Blog Comments
Why It's Yummy
- packed with flavors
- spicy
- creamy and saucy
- easy and quick to make
- better than restaurant
Instructions
Cook noodles according to package instructions.
Cut the chicken into strips and cook for a few minutes over high heat on both sides. Add onion, and curry paste, and stir well.
Follow with bell pepper strips, garlic, and ginger. Cook for about 1 minute and then stir in the coconut milk. Meanwhile in a smaller bowl mix lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Add to the pan.
Take the sauce to a boil, add noodles, and reduce heat. Close the lid and simmer for 5 minutes.
Garnish with lime wedges and sesame seeds.
Tips
- If you like your 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. Make sure not to add a lot of salt while boiling the noodles.
- We love to serve this stir fry with lots of toppings (try this pickled daikon radish) and salads such as spicy cucumber salad.
