A rich, creamy Thai Red Curry Noodle dish paired with a crispy socca flatbread and baked, crispy chickpeas.
- ½ thinely sliced, red onion
- 1 thinely sliced, red bell pepper
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 15 oz. cans coconut milk
- ½ lb rice noodles
- Juice from ½ lime
- ½ tsp salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cup chickpea flour
- ½ cu water
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp each: ground cinnamon, ginger, coriander, and cumin.
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
-
Start by preparing the chickpea socca. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients until creamy. Pour batter onto the baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread until about 2mm thin. Bake for 16 min. until golden brown and crispy. Let cool while preparing the rest of the dish.
-
Toss chickpeas in spices and oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 min.
-
While chickpeas are baking, prepare noodles. Soak rice noodles in hot water. Set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 min. until onions are soft and translucent. Add in garlic, ½ tsp salt, red curry paste, and turmeric. Cook for an additional minute. Pour in coconut milk and bring to a low boil. Add in rice noodles and simmer until cooked through. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze in half a lime. Add ½-1 cup of water if noodles soaked up too much liquid.
-
Crush up socca into medium-size peices. Dish up rice noodles and top with baked chickpeas and a few pieces of socca. Garnish with sliced green onion, lime wedge, and red pepper flakes.
