Thai-Inspired Coconut Red Curry Chicken Udon

Print Recipe

A cozy dish combining the rich essence of Thai cuisine with creamy coconut milk, tender chicken, and soft udon noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g Udon Noodles
  • 300g Chicken Breast, sliced
  • 1 Can Coconut Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Red Curry Paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Bell Pepper, sliced
  • 1 Onion, sliced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • Fresh Basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the udon noodles. Boil a pot of water and toss in the noodles. Cooking time typically ranges from 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside, tossing them with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large pan or wok, heat up 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft.
  3. Next, toss in the minced garlic and sliced bell pepper. Stir together until garlic is fragrant, about a minute.
  4. Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and no pink remains.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, add the red curry paste and mix well. Then pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine.
  6. To boost flavor, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and let simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken.
  7. Add the cooked udon noodles to the pan, gently tossing everything together for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil on top.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with protein options like beef, pork, or tofu. Adjust the spice level by altering the amount of curry paste.
