The Best Curried Rice Noodles
You guys, these noodles are YUMMY. The sauce – I could drink it all by itself, but won’t, because it tastes so damn good wrapped around the rice noodles and mingled with the broccoli, mushrooms, cabbage and shrimp. We love that combination but feel free to use any fresh veggies that you have on hand or another protein, like grilled chicken breasts or cast iron chicken thighs. This is a simple noodle recipe that is healthy, delicious and will leave you wanting more.

How To Make Sweet Curried Rice Noodles
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to drizzle some oil in a hot pan, add the onion, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Move around to cook for several minutes and then add the coconut milk, curry paste, chili paste, sugar, and soy sauce. Whisk to combine and let simmer. Now, toss the vegetables in oil and salt in a mixing bowl. Place them in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes.
While the veggies roast, you can cook the noodles according to the package directions and pan fry the shrimp. Toss everything together in a bowl and enjoy!
