A flavorful and vibrant chicken stir-fry with noodles, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Prepare all your ingredients by chopping the vegetables and slicing the chicken into thin strips.
Keep the vegetables uniform in size for even cooking.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the red curry paste and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for about a minute until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Cook the chicken in a single layer for even browning.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cover the chicken to keep it warm while you cook the vegetables.
Add the onion, bell pepper, cabbage, and carrot to the skillet and stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Add a splash of water if the vegetables start to stick.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add the cooked noodles and soy sauce. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Use tongs to mix the noodles evenly with the sauce and vegetables.
Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with additional soy sauce if desired.
Serve with a wedge of lime for a fresh citrus kick.
