How to Make Spicy Coconut Milk Noodles

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 8 oz dried noodles (your choice of type) and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While noodles cook, prepare the aromatics: Finely chop 1/2 medium onion, 1-2 red chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander, 1 inch piece of ginger (grated), 1 teaspoon turmeric, and 2 stalks lemongrass (finely chopped).
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, chilies, garlic, coriander, ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly softened.
  4. Pour in 1 (13.5 oz) can of full-fat coconut milk and 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add 1 cup of your favorite vegetables (e.g., broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, carrots) and the drained noodles to the wok.
  6. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp and noodles are heated through.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (roughly chopped) before serving. Garnish with extra coriander if desired.
