This creative take on a Thai-inspired rice noodle bowl, made with fresh spring vegetables and locally grown and sustainably farmed California Avocados, is sweet with a little bit of heat!

Start cooking

Serves: 4

|
1 (14-oz.) pkg. rice noodles (white, brown or red) 2 tsp. coconut oil or vegetable oil 4 large scallions, finely sliced 1 Tbsp. ginger, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1/8 tsp. sea salt, to taste 1 Tbsp. Thai green curry paste, (add more, to taste) 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth 1 tsp. coconut sugar 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 (14-oz.) can full fat coconut milk 2 cups packed baby bok choy, broccolini, kale, spinach or other greens of your choice 1 tsp. rice vinegar or lime juice 1 tsp. tamari or soy sauce Garnish: 2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, seeded, peeled and thinly sliced 1 cup cucumber or radish, thinly sliced (add more, to taste) 1/8 tsp. cilantro, Thai basil, mint or more scallions, to taste 1 lime, cut in wedges
  1. Soak the rice noodles in water while you prepare the curry (at least 30 minutes).
  2. Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet, add the oil and cook half the scallions, the ginger and garlic until fragrant and soft, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the broth and curry paste, and whisk together.
  4. Add the sweet potatoes and continue cooking over medium heat until the sweet potatoes are steamed and soft, about 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk, along with the sugar.
  6. Add in the greens and simmer until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes.
  7. Drain the rice noodles well (or drain and pat dry) and stir into the curry.
  8. Season with vinegar or lime juice, and soy. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  9. Divide the noodles and curry between four bowls and garnish with avocado, cucumber, radish, lime and herbs.
  10. Serve warm, or at room temperature, with more lime for squeezing over the top.

Serving Suggestion: Add some chopped chicken breast, or protein of your choice, to create a heartier meal, or even serve with some spring rolls.

Beverage Pairing: Enjoy with a light beer, like a pilsner.
