- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned

Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Lower the heat and pour in the coconut milk mixture. Stir well to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the drained tuna, breaking it into chunks, and let it heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together using tongs or a large spoon to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Adjust seasoning if needed, adding more fish sauce or chili flakes to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and crushed peanuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Thai Tuna Noodles!
