Are you looking for a simple recipe that does not require much effort? If so, you must try this flavorful and saucy Thai Red Curry Noodles recipe. With only 10 ingredients you can have a delicious lunch or dinner whipped up in 15 minutes. Customize this recipe by adding your choice of stir-fry vegetables and plant protein.
You only need 10 ingredients to make this recipe.
A lot of the ingredients can be substituted and replaced with items that you already have in your pantry.
Ingredient Substitutions
Ground Ginger– Fresh Ginger
Garlic- Garlic Powder
Cane Sugar- Maple or Agave Syrup
Green Onions- Fresh Cilantro
Cornstarch- Skip Adding it
The cornstarch thickens up the sauce, but if you do not have it, no worries. Your sauce will just not be as thick.
Stir-Fry Noodles – Rice Noodles
Any type of rice noodles like pad Thai noodles, Vermicelli, or wide rice noodles. If you are gluten-free make sure to check the box for wheat.
Soy Sauce – Tamari
If you are gluten-free make sure to check the back of the bottle to make sure it is certified gluten-free. Tamari also makes a great replacement instead of soy sauce.
After you have whisked your sauce to be thick and creamy you are then going to add your rice noodles. The noodles will soak up the sauce right up.
So if you like your noodles extra saucy I recommend not adding all of the 14 ounces of rice noodles but only 10 ounces. You can also thin out your sauce by not adding the cornstarch to your sauce.
One of the great things about this recipe is that you can get really creative with adding additional ingredients to your noodles. Below are some simple and easy ingredients that will not add tons of cooking time and really give this recipe some extra flavor.
