Thai cuisine is wonderful. We often limit it to pad thai and other very “classic” dishes. However, it is one of the most diverse culinary traditions: you can find everything, from stir-fried dishes to very fresh, barely cooked dishes, and curries simmered almost like in Indian cuisine.
Honestly, it’s one of my favorite cuisines and it’s high time I start expanding the recipe collection on the site because I really want you to discover more of it!
The main ingredients for red curry noodles
Light soy sauce: Classic salty soy sauce found in supermarkets. Not to be confused with dark soy sauce
Sesame oil: If you use toasted sesame oil, it’s essential to be careful with the quantities used as the flavor is quite strong
Thai red curry paste: A delicious Thai curry paste made with, among other things, lemongrass and shrimp. A real treat.
Thai basil: use regular basil if you don’t have any, but it really adds an extra flavor nuance

Tellement parfumées et relevées juste comme il faut, ces nouilles au curry rouge sont aussi bonnes, voire meilleures, que celles de mon resto thaï du coin 😊
Je cuisine rarement thaï et je pensais que ça allait être trop compliqué, mais ces nouilles au curry rouge ont été super faciles et vraiment savoureuses 😊 Fière du résultat, même avec du basilic normal et un peu moins de piment que prévu.
Tellement savoureux, ces nouilles au curry rouge sont addictives! 😋
Super simple and so flavorful; I swapped half the sesame oil for peanut oil and added a little extra ginger. The noodles turned out even better with that nutty depth, and the sauce coated everything perfectly 😋
