  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Noodles

  • 8 ounces rice noodles or gluten-free spaghetti

Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons creamy unsalted peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or tamari
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro
  • Chopped green onions
  • Peanuts and/or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook rice noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  2. Prepare the red curry peanut sauce: Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped garlic and optional chili flakes, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Add sauce ingredients and simmer: Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, peanut butter, lime juice, coconut sugar, and coconut aminos or tamari. Whisk the mixture together and bring it to a gentle simmer. Continue whisking occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly, around 3-5 minutes.
  4. Toss noodles with sauce: Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them thoroughly in the red curry peanut sauce. Warm the noodles through for a minute or two.
  5. Garnish and serve: Transfer the coated noodles to serving bowls. Top with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, and peanuts or sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free peanut curry noodles!

Notes

  • Use gluten-free spaghetti as a substitute if rice noodles are unavailable.
  • Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level, or omit for a milder dish.
  • For a vegan option, ensure the red curry paste does not contain shrimp paste or fish sauce.
  • Leftover noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce.
