  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil

  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger sliced into rounds
  • 1 tsp. red curry paste or 2 tsp. Sriracha sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 coconut milk (15-ounce) can
  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 4 ounces thin rice noodles or zucchini 'noodles'

  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Thinly slice the chicken breasts crosswise into strips.
  2. Heat oil in a pot, then cook onion and red pepper until softened. Add garlic, ginger, and curry paste, cooking for 30 seconds. Stir in chicken broth, coconut milk, and brown sugar, then cover and bring to a boil.
  3. Add chicken and simmer for 5-7 minutes until cooked through (170°F internal temperature). If using rice noodles, add them now and simmer uncovered until al dente, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, then stir in lime juice, cilantro, and zucchini noodles (if using). Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and Sriracha sauce.

Notes

Adjust Sriracha sauce to your preferred spice level. If using rice noodles, ensure they are cooked al dente before serving. Fresh lime juice at the end brightens all the flavors.
