Description

Creamy coconut noodles with a spicy kick, fresh herbs, and a touch of lime, perfect for a quick weeknight meal or flavorful lunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 grams rice noodles
  • 400 ml full-fat coconut milk
  • 23 whole red chilies, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch ginger root, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • A small handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook rice noodles until tender. Drain and set aside.

  • Store sauce and noodles separately if making ahead to avoid sogginess.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer texture.
