Panang Curry Noodle Bowls for the win! This is such a great recipe and very flexible – use whatever veggies that you have hanging out in the fridge. The sauce is amazing.
For the main vegetables I used colorful peppers, green beans and baby corn because that’s what I had on hand. Feel free to use any vegetable you prefer. If you want to up the protein in these Panang Curry Noodle Bowls add some tofu or other favorite protein of choice. Some curry pastes are spicier than others so if you are spice sensitive, perhaps start with one tablespoon and add the second one if you can handle a little more kick.
