Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: Begin by preparing the rice noodles following the package instructions. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and set them aside in a large bowl.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them. Next, add the sliced onion and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the onion becomes translucent.

      Add Fresh Vegetables: Stir in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly but still maintain a crisp texture.

        Incorporate Curry Paste: Add the red curry paste to the pan, stirring thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the curry spices to become aromatic.

          Pour in Coconut Milk: Carefully pour the coconut milk into the pan, mixing it well with the vegetables and curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

            Season the Sauce: Add the soy sauce, freshly squeezed lime juice, brown sugar, and salt to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, enabling the flavors to marry and deepen.

              Combine Noodles: Gently fold the cooked noodles into the pan, tossing everything together to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the luscious coconut curry sauce.

                Serve: Remove the pan from heat and serve the noodles immediately. Garnish each serving with a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a dash of chili flakes for those who crave extra heat.
