These colorful rainbow curry noodle bowls pair tender rice noodles and crisp-tender vegetables with a creamy, gently spicy coconut curry sauce. Ready in about 30 minutes, they make an easy Thai-inspired weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Noodles and vegetables

  • 8 ounces wide rice noodles
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 red or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced

Coconut curry sauce

  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
  • 2 teaspoons coconut sugar or brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Soak the noodles. Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover them with very warm water. Soak for 20–25 minutes, until mostly softened, then drain.
  2. Heat the curry paste. Warm the red curry paste in a saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Add the garlic. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
  4. Make the coconut sauce. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce or tamari, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and stir for 2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Cook the vegetables. Add 3 tablespoons of the coconut curry sauce to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, carrots, cabbage, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Finish the noodle bowls. Add the softened noodles to the skillet and pour in the remaining sauce. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring, until the noodles are soft and the sauce has thickened.

Notes

  • Soak the noodles until they are mostly softened; they will finish cooking in the skillet with the sauce.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tamari and check that the curry paste is labeled gluten-free.
  • Red curry paste brands vary in heat and saltiness, so adjust the amount to suit your taste.
  • Shake or stir the coconut milk well before measuring it into the sauce.
