  • curry powder
    1 tsp

    ½ tsp
  • paprika
    ½ tsp
  • turmeric
    ¼ tsp
  • Salt & pepper
  • oil
    1 tbsp
  • onion

    1 c
  • pack udon noodles

    fresh or frozen

    1
  • Vegetables of choice
  • Lime wedges
  • Cilantro leaves
  • Red chili flakes

Directions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

  2. 2

    Heat a pan over medium heat and pan-fry the seasoned chicken for 5–6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to keep warm.

  3. 3

    In the same pan with the remaining oil and chicken drippings, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onions become translucent.

  4. 4

    Stir in the red curry paste and cook briefly, mixing well to coat the onions and garlic, releasing the paste’s flavors.

  5. 5

    Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the sauce to meld and thicken slightly.

  6. 6

    Incorporate the udon noodles and the cooked chicken back into the pan. Let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes, allowing the noodles to loosen up, absorb the sauce, and heat through.

  7. 7

    Taste the curry and adjust salt or spice levels as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes according to your preference.
