UDON WITH RED THAI CURRY KABOCHA SAUCE

#SIAintheKitchen

Are you in needing of a refresh in terms of food!? With just a few ingredients, you can whip up this tasty, bombtastic udon noodles with red thai kabocha sauce in no time.

Squashes and red thai curry sauce just work so well together. There’s something about the creaminess of kabocha squash (Japanese pumpkin) that melds perfectly with spicy and pungent Thai flavours. It’s mellow enough to fair well such strong flavours. It’s even better than butternut squash - trust me on this one.

I just added a little broccoli for some additional vegetables and crunch but I believe this would also work great with some bouncy garlic shrimp as well - let me know if you try this!

UDON WITH RED THAI CURRY KABOCHA SAUCE - serves 2 (adapted by I Am A Food Blog)

  • 3 cups kabocha squash, diced into 1” pieces

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • salt + pepper, as needed

  • 150g brick of frozen sanuki udon

  • 2 cups broccoli florets

  • ~1/3 cup water

  • 3 tbsp red thai curry paste

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or a Silpat mat.

  2. Toss the diced kabocha squash with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until the squash can be easily pierced through with a fork.

  3. While the squash is roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the udon noodles until the noodles are loosened, 3 minutes. For the last 30 seconds, add the broccoli florets and blanch for 30 seconds. Drain the noodles and broccoli and rinse.

  4. When the squash is finished, place into a food processor with the Thai red curry paste and blend. Gradually add some water so that the sauce loosens enough so that it can coat the noodles.

  5. Toss the sauce and noodles together and top with the broccoli. Enjoy immediately!
