INSTRUCTIONS

Add olive oil to a large frying pan on med-high heat. Once hot, add garlic and chicken, sauteeing for 5 min.

Add red curry paste (you can add more or less than 2 tbsp depending on your spice tolerance…generally store-bought is far less spicy than the homemade version), then coconut milk.
Add baby corn, broccoli florets and carrots, then saute for 3-4 min.

Meanwhile, cook rice noodles according to package directions (generally not for more than 1-2 min in boiling water).

Add bell peppers and rice noodles to pan, stirring well to combine.

Serve in deep bowls, garnishing with cilantro and lime.

To make red curry paste: Roast dry spices (cumin, nutmeg, coriander) in frying pan over med-high heat for approx 1-2 min until fragrant. Remove from heat. Soak red chiles in hot water up to a minute. Blend all ingredients (including roasted spices) in a Magic Bullet or food processor. Add water as needed, but try not to add any at all if possible.
