How to Make Thai Noodles With Curried Ground Beef Sauce
- Prepare the lettuce: Clean and cut 5 oz of butter lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cook the noodles: Separate 8 oz of dried Thai rice noodles and stir-fry in a heated non-stick wok or skillet with 1 tbsp oil until softened. Add 4 tbsp black soy sauce and stir until noodles are slightly browned and crispy.
- Remove noodles: Transfer the noodles to a bowl and set aside.
- Brown the beef: Heat 1 tbsp oil in the same wok. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add 1 lb ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and brown it completely.
- Add curry and spices: Stir in 2 tbsp Thai red curry powder and 1 tsp ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Add vegetables: Add 1 medium chopped onion and 1 cup chopped tomatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Create the sauce: Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference (sweet/sour/salty).
- Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened.
- Simmer and serve: Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes. To serve, place lettuce on plates, top with noodles, then add a generous scoop of the beef curry sauce. Sprinkle with ground pepper and a dash of sambal oelek (to taste).
