Ingredients

• 1 cup julienned carrots
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, honey, and fish sauce in a small bowl until blended; set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable oil. Add curry paste, garlic, and ginger paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add coconut milk in intervals, stirring as you pour it in to keep the sauce from separating.

Step 4

Add pork strips, carrots, and snap peas and cook until pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add drained noodles to the skillet, then add soy sauce mixture. Simmer until sauce has thickened, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Divide pork and noodle mixture among serving bowls and top with cilantro, lime zest, and juice. Serve immediately.
