Ingredients Needed
- Garlic: Fresh garlic is best! Garlic gives this recipe savoriness and pungent flavors!
- Curry Paste: Red curry paste can be found in the international aisles at most well-stocked grocery stores!
- Ginger: Bright fresh ginger is a key ingredient to this red curry pasta to make sure it is filled with brightness and a little bit of sweetness.
- Coconut Milk: Creamy canned coconut milk is the perfect compliment to the red curry pasta and broth to create a delicious creamy curry. Make sure you use full-fat unsweetened coconut milk in the can.
- Broth: Chicken broth is typically what I use, but to make this recipe vegetarian or even vegan, use vegetable broth.
- Noodles: Wide lo mein noodles are perfect for absorbing all of the delicious sauce. If you do not have access to lo mein noodles, then you can use spaghetti noodles. Other noodle options are rice noodles or zoodles.
- Veggies: A bag of frozen vegetable stir fry mix is great for this because it is usually filled with carrots, broccoli, and sometimes even snowpeas. I like to use frozen veggies because they taste fresh all-year-round, but you can use also use veggies.
- Cilantro: Fresh cilantro is chopped and served atop this recipe for the best flavors!
