  • 1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger or ginger paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Peanut Sauce

  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger or ginger paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup water

Bowl Ingredients

  • 8 oz rice vermicelli noodles
  • 2 Persian or baby cucumbers, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, steamed
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • cilantro leaves
  • mint leaves

  • chopped toasted peanuts
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  • Mix the marinade. Whisk the coconut milk, red curry paste, turmeric, garlic, ginger, honey, lime zest and juice in a mixing bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Marinade the chicken. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover and transfer to the fridge and marinate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
  • Make the peanut sauce. Whisk all the peanut sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
  • Cook the noodles. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water until completely cool.
  • Cook the chicken. Preheat a skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill to medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  • Assemble the bowls. Divide the noodles between bowls and top with the chicken. Top with veggies and herbs as desired and drizzle with peanut sauce before topping with chopped peanuts.
