Servings: 3 to 4
Ingredients
- 4 oz bean thread noodles
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 14–15 oz can light coconut milk
- 1 15 oz can baby corn, drained (cut in half if you'd like)
- 1 cup snow peas trimmed
- 1 medium zucchini cut into eighths lengthwise, then into 2-inch strips
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into narrow 2-inch strips
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms optional
- 3 scallions cut into 1-inch lengths
- 2 tsp good-quality curry powder
- Sriracha or other hot sauce to taste
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Cover the noodles with boiling water in a heatproof container. Cover and let stand for 6 to 8 minutes, or according to package directions, until al dente.
- Drain the noodles, rinse briefly with cool water, then use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut here and there into shorter lengths.
- While the noodles are soaking, heat the oil in a stir-fry pan. Add the garlic and sauté over medium-low heat until golden.
- Add the remaining ingredients except salt; bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles and season with salt. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, until the noodles have absorbed much of the coconut milk, then serve.
