Spicy Thai Red Curry Noodles
A bowl of spicy Thai red curry noodles is the perfect go-to meal on any cold, chilly and gloomy day. The vibrant color and aroma of the broth will definitely draw you in.

Most of the time I would make the red curry paste from scratch thereby making the cooking process longer than usual. This recipe however can be prepared in a cinch as I relied on store bought ingredients to speed up the process.
So if you are short on time but still want to enjoy a nice bowl of spicy noodle soup, this recipe is just for you.
