How to cook Coconut Curry Noodles with Veggies


Begin the cooking process by preparing the veggies. Wash and slice the bell pepper into thin strips. Then clean and slice the mushrooms. Heat up a large pan, drizzle the oil, and cook the veggies on high heat for about 3-4 minutes.

Use kitchen tongs to remove the veggies and set them aside. Use the same pan to saute the minced garlic along with the minced ginger. Reduce the heat to low and stir often. Cook them for about 1 minute then pour the coconut milk and the curry paste and stir. As soon as the curry-coconut sauce starts simmering add the previously cooked veggies to the pan.

Cook everything for additional 5 minutes on medium-low heat then add the noodles to the pan. Pour about 3-4 cup of hot water so that the noodles soak in the liquids. Gently stir and cook until the noodles are done. Then, simply transfer the noodles into a wide bowl to stop the cooking process.

Way too hot for family! Wouldn’t eat it. Would have been a great dinner with a lot less curry or a warning. Also, never listed how much water to add. If added the amount to soak noodles before I would have had a very thing soup

Hello Sharon,
As I have mentioned in my post, red curry paste will add strong spiciness. Definitely, using curry paste, that is spicy itself, will make your dish taste spicy. For example my husband likes hot to spicy dishes, this is not a dish to satisfy all people around the world, nonetheless, you can skin adding curry paste. Also, “Pour about 1/2 cup of water for the noodles to soak the liquids” it is very clearly written in my post! Such Thai dishes should be spicy and hot if you want to savour an authentic Thailand food!
Thank you

Recipe doesn’t say if hoodies should be cooked or uncooked. I used uncooked. The recipe also doesn’t list water in the ingredients. I’ve been adding and adding water, way more than the 1/2 cup you mention in your comments and the noodles are still not totally cooked. Only used a box of 14 oz of noodles not 16 oz and it’s way too much for this recipe.
