Thai curry noodles

Thai curried noodles can be prepared with wheat or rice noodles served with hot thai red curry paste. You can use this paste either in noodles or rice. I would not say this is very easy to prepare. If  planned and thai paste is ready then the dish is simple. Thai foods are very spicy, they use ripe green chillies for their foods.  I have used kashmiri red chilly here.

This recipe was from a television show which I noted down long back. Try this you'll be sure to enjoy.


Thai curry paste:


Ingredients:
  • Shallots(small onions) - 5
  • Ginger - 2 tbsp
  • Garlic - 5 pods
  • Red chillies - 5
  • Cloves - 4
  • Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Coriander powder - 2 tsp
  • Cumin powder - 1 tsp
  • Sugar - 1/4 tsp
  • Soy sauce - 2 tbsp

Method:

Soak the dry red chilly in hot water for 10 minutes. Then add all the other ingredients and grind to a fine smooth paste with little water.

Thai curry noodles:

Ingredients:
  • Boiled noodles - 2 cup
  • Thai paste - 2 tbsp
  • Coconut milk - 1 cup
  • Ginger - 2 tbsp (cut in lengthwise)
  • Garlic - 3 pods (cut in lengthwise)
  • Mushroom - 5
  • Bell pepper(green and red) - 1 cup
  • Green onions - 1/4 cup
  • Salt - as per taste
  • Cooking oil - 3 tbsp(preferably olive oil)

For Garnishing:
  • Coriander leaves - 3 tbsp
  • Roasted peanuts - 2 tbsp(broken)
  • Roasted tofu - 1/4 cup
  • Lime -1 


Method:

Heat a wide pan over a low heat and add the olive oil. Add the ginger and garlic and saute for a minute then add thai curry paste, salt and cook till the raw smell goes. Add half of the coconut milk and give a stir .

Add mushrooms and green onions, fry for 2 minutes. Stir bell peppers and the remaining coconut milk. Let it stand for few minutes. To enhance the flavor you can add 2 tsp of soy sauce at this stage. Later add the boiled noodles and start stirring to mix evenly.

Top with coriander leaves, roasted peanuts broken into pieces and roasted tofu . Season lightly with salt and pepper. Serve warm with lime and tomato sauce.

If stored in the refrigerator it can last for one week to 10 days.

Hi, I just made some of the paste in hopes of preparing your dish today! But my paste turned out much less like a paste, and it was a translucent green instead of red. I'm thinking I used too many onions...is the amount 5 small onions or 5g or something? Should I still use this paste?

hotpotcooking said...

Audrey I meant small onions is pearl onions(shallots), anyhow you can use the paste.Make sure the raw smell goes completely while frying it. I am really sorry for the mistake.
