Which noodles for the Asian curry pasta?
You can use any type of pasta when preparing this recipe. I like them with traditional rice noodles, which give this dish a texture similar to tagliatelle.
It doesn’t matter if you use narrow or wide rice noodles . I prefer rice noodles because they give the dish a slightly chewy texture. If you don’t have rice noodles on hand, you can also make this recipe with your choice of good ol’ spaghetti, tagliatelle, or pasta. Regular or gluten-free spaghetti works well.
The choice of curry paste
Red curry paste is a traditional ingredient in Thai cuisine. It’s a paste made from a blend of aromatic ingredients like lemongrass, shallots, lime, and red chillies (hence the bright red color). For example, I use them in my coconut curry ramen .
Read the label before buying if you prefer vegetarian or vegan curry paste, as some red curry pastes contain dried shrimp or shrimp paste.
Different brands of red curry paste can also have different levels of spiciness. So keep that in mind as you prepare the recipe and maybe start with a little less curry paste and add more as you cook.
Red curry paste is usually found in Asian grocery stores in the same aisle as soy sauce, sriracha, and other Asian sauces.
