Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Coconut Noodles
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes, until tender yet firm to the bite. Once done, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly.
- Stir in red curry paste to the sautéed garlic and ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and develop.
- Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring well to coat the aromatic blend. Let it cook for an additional minute.
- Gradually add coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring continuously until well-blended.
- Add brown sugar, lime juice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper into the sauce. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Reduce the heat slightly and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce until thoroughly coated. Let them simmer for an additional minute.
- Incorporate peanut butter into the noodles, stirring until it melts and blends seamlessly into the sauce.
- Drizzle in Sriracha sauce, adjusting the heat level based on preference. Mix well and taste to tweak seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and green onions to serve. Serve immediately for a comforting meal.
