Ingredients

• 200g rice noodles
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas
• 400ml coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
• Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a large casserole dish and set aside.
2. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
4. Add the red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Stir in the coconut milk, Thai green curry paste, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat them thoroughly with the sauce and vegetables.
7. Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and heated through.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, basil, and lime wedges before serving.

Helpful Tips

• For added protein, consider adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the casserole.
• If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of green curry paste to 2 tablespoons.
• Feel free to substitute the vegetables with your family’s favorites, such as carrots, zucchini, or snow peas.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
