Instructions
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the red Thai curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release its flavors.
Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and red chili flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer.
Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce and heated through.
