This luscious variation transforms traditional dry stir-fried noodles into a saucy, comfort-food masterpiece using aromatic red curry paste and rich coconut milk. It strikes the perfect balance between spicy heat and creamy sweetness, making it an ideal quick dinner that feels indulgent without the hassle.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the Thai red curry paste to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Stir well to combine with the paste and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the prawns to the simmering sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and opaque.
Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar. Simmer for another minute to meld the flavors.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice.
Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and toss gently until the noodles are heated through and well coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro.
