Get ready to slurp & sip your way through this wholesome bowl of Red Curry Pork Noodles. Spicy ground pork, noodles piled high (use whatever takes your fancy), baby Asian greens, crisp asparagus, strands of carrot & a perfectly cooked soft egg sitting aloft in a warming coconut curry broth.

RED CURRY PORK NOODLES

When I’m going for convenience over authenticity cooking Thai-inspired curries, I reach for a curry paste. In this instance, red curry paste. I usually have about three or four different ones in the fridge. Mae Ploy is the brand I use as I find it’s as close to homemade as you can get. So why bother with the laundry list of ingredients when you can just pop open the container?

RED CURRY PORK NOODLES

With many of us isolated, you might not have all the ingredients on hand so ad lib: use soy milk instead of coconut – even cream; whatever greens you have on hand; use beef or chicken – ground or thinly sliced; even if you don’t have red curry paste, try some Indian curry paste or powder instead. In times like this, we need to get creative. In all areas of our life. Cooking included. “Necessity is the mother of invention but its father is creativity.” Hang in there xo.

RED CURRY PORK NOODLES

I used ramen noodles but use whatever noodles you have on hand – egg noodles, rice noodles or even spaghetti. Get everything prepped before you start cooking. This recipe has a few steps but it comes together quickly when all the ingredients are ready to go.

Gyros are traditionally cooked on a vertical spit Gyros are traditionally cooked on a vertical spit with pork or chicken. Not having a vertical spit, I opted for a less traditional method of cooking the chicken – horizontally on a barbie. The results of a spice rub marinade, a light bathing in olive oil and a quick, hot blast on the grill produced lots of flavor reminiscent of Spiced Chicken Gyros’ vertical cousin.
