Steps:

• Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Combine the cornstarch and coconut milk in a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wok or large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red bell pepper, garlic, ginger, scallions, salt and curry powder and saute until starting to soften, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until cooked through and pink, 3 to 4 minutes, continuously stirring.
• Create a well in the center of the wok or pan, pour in the coconut mixture, lime juice and cilantro and heat until the mixture starts to thicken up, about 30 seconds. Then, stir to coat all the ingredients. Add the drained noodles and stir until the noodles are coated with the sauce and heated through, about another minute. Serve.

RED COCONUT CURRY NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, scoop the cream off the top of each can of coconut and put it in the pot. The cream will be used as the "fat" instead of oil or butter. Along with the cream, add the curry paste and ginger. Let this simmer, stirring constantly, for about one minute.
• Add the chicken and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Add the coconut milk, sweet Thai chili sauce, cilantro, and chicken broth. Bring this to a simmer.
• Add the red pepper, broccoli slaw and/or carrots and noodles and salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom, for about 5-8 minutes. The noodles will thicken and plump up as they absorb the liquid. The mixture will be slightly soupy when the noodles are finished cooking.
• Take the pot off the heat and let the noodles sit for about 5 minutes. The mixture will continue to thicken. Garnish with more cilantro, if desired.

• While the noodles are soaking, heat the oil in a stir-fry pan. Add the garlic and sauté over medium-low heat until golden.
• Add the remaining ingredients except salt; bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
• Add the cooked noodles and season with salt. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, until the noodles have absorbed much of the coconut milk, then serve.
