Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 lb fresh chinese spinach egg noodles (chow mein; available in Asian markets)
1 cup Thai basil or 1 cup regular basil
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1 tablespoon minced Thai green chili or 1 tablespoon jalapeno chile (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large wok, saute pan, or skillet over medium heat, heat the oil.
  • Add the ginger, garlic, and red curry paste and stir-fry until aromatic, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and coconut milk and simmer for 3 minutes (The sauce can be made ahead to this point and set aside for 2 to 3 hours. Reheat before continuing).
  • Just before serving, cook the noodles in a large pot of unsalted boiling water until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Increase heat under the sauce to high and add the noodles, herbs, bean sprouts, and the chili, if using.
  • Toss until the noodles are heated through and well coated with sauce.
  • Serve at once, on warmed plates.
  • Note: Serve these noodles as a side dish with grilled meats, fish, or chicken.
  • If you can't find spinach chow mein, use regular chow mein.
  • Your dish won't be as emerald, but it will be fiery and delicious.
  • Serves 3 or 4 as a side dish.

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I had to omit it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the cilantro.

The noodles were overcooked and the sauce was too spicy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I didn't find it to be overpowering in this dish. It actually complemented the other flavors very well.
