Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 to 1.5 cups BBQ chicken, pre-cooked or grilled, sliced

Curry Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or neutral oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Noodles

  • 6 ounces rice noodles

Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or thinly sliced

Garnishes & Herbs

  • Fresh cilantro or Thai basil, chopped
  • Optional: chopped peanuts or cashews
  • Optional: sliced fresh red chilies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Noodles: Soak or boil the rice noodles according to package instructions until tender, then drain and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Aromatics: In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, to form a flavorful base for the curry.
  3. Add Red Curry Paste: Stir in the red curry paste and cook for about 1 minute to release its full aroma and deepen the flavor.
  4. Pour in Coconut Milk and Simmer: Add the coconut milk and fish or soy sauce, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes to thicken and blend the curry flavors.
  5. Incorporate Vegetables and BBQ Chicken: Add sliced bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, and BBQ chicken to the pan. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp and chicken is heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked rice noodles to the pan, tossing gently to coat the noodles evenly with the creamy curry sauce.
  7. Finish with Lime and Fresh Herbs: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish and sprinkle with chopped cilantro or Thai basil just before serving for a bright and fresh finish.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook noodles to prevent mushy texture; al dente is ideal.
  • Use high-quality red curry paste for authentic and flavorful results.
  • Adjust flavor balance by adding more lime juice, fish sauce, or a pinch of sugar as needed.
  • Prepare noodles and chicken in advance for faster meal assembly on busy nights.
  • Add fresh herbs only just before serving to maintain their vibrant flavor and color.
