1. Cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

2. Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips, seasoning with salt and pepper.

3. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger. Set aside.

4. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

5. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

6. Stir in the red curry paste, cooking for another 30 seconds to release the flavors.

7. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

8. Add the soy sauce and brown sugar, stirring until dissolved. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

9. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

10. Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the sauce.

11. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the noodles, mixing to combine.

12. Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and crushed peanuts. Sprinkle with red chili flakes for extra heat, if desired.

13. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
