Ingredients

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

5 to 6 tbsp. Thai red curry paste, depending on spice preference

2 cloves garlic, minced or grated

2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced or grated

1 (13.5-oz) can full-fat coconut milk

3 1/2 c. water

1 lb. (16-oz.) rice noodles

2 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced

5 oz. sliced shiitake mushrooms

1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 c. cilantro leaves, divided

1 tbsp. kosher salt

Juice of 1 lime, plus more lime wedges for serving

Directions

In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add curry paste, garlic, and ginger and cook until paste appears to dry out and is very fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add coconut milk and stir to combine, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add water, noodles, vegetables, half the cilantro, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium and cook, stirring frequently, until noodles are cooked, about 10 minutes.

Stir in lime juice. Serve garnished with remaining cilantro leaves, lime wedges, and Thai basil, if desired.
