Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tsp sesame or vegetable oil
- 1 lb (500 g) extra lean ground beef
- 3 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 2 red Thai chili peppers seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp EACH liquid honey and minced ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 4 cups sodium-reduced chicken broth
- 1 can (400 mL) coconut milk
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp salt
- 150 g whole-grain spaghettini
- 4 baby bok choy halved
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 8 oz (250 g) button mushrooms thinly sliced
- 4 cups lightly packed baby spinach
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves torn
- ¼ cup chopped roasted peanuts
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan set over medium-high heat. Crumble in beef and cook, stirring often and breaking up with a spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer beef to a plate using a slotted spoon; cover and set aside.
- Stir curry paste, chili peppers, soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic into saucepan. Cook mixture for 1 to 2 minutes or until red colour deepens. Pour in broth, coconut milk and lime juice; stir in salt. Bring to a boil; add spaghettini and stir until submerged. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until tender but still toothsome.
- Return beef to pan and stir to combine. Layer the bok choy, bell pepper, mushrooms and spinach over broth. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Toss to combine.
- Divide noodles and vegetables evenly among 4 wide serving bowls. Ladle broth over top. Garnish with basil and peanuts. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
• For a gluten-free option, use brown rice or soba noodles instead of the spaghettini, and tamari instead of the soy sauce.
• Garnish with additional finely chopped red Thai chilies for those who like the heat.
