Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sesame or peanut oil
  • 1/3 cup green onions sliced
  • 1-3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 3-4 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh Thai or regular basil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 squares brown rice ramen noodles or 6 ounces rice noodles
  • 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce

Instructions

  • Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add the brown rice ramen noodles (or rice noodles) and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame or peanut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced green onions, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  • Next, stir in the Thai red curry paste. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more if you prefer a spicier kick. Mix well, letting the paste cook for another minute to release its rich flavors.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the curry oil mixture. Pour in the tamari or soy sauce and continue to toss everything together until the noodles are heated through.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped basil and cilantro. Add crushed red pepper flakes to taste, adjusting the heat level according to your preference.
  • Plate the noodles and garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of green onions. Enjoy your delicious 20 Minute Red Curry Basil Garlic Oil Noodles warm!
