Stir-Fried Coconut Noodles

"Here is a delicious, easy one-dish meal. The flavors in the dish are amazing--you'll be transported to Southeast Asia. The less common ingredients should be available in the Asian section of the supermarket. If you like some heat, add some red or green curry paste. This dish tastes best the first day."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a chemist who loves to eat and cook. I'm married and have a young son who loves to help me cook. My husband is a pretty good cook. I like to spend time to cook a nice meal on Sunday but during the week usually make something that is quick to put together. I also enjoy baking. I live in Newton, MA, not far from a wonderful market in Watertown called Russo's. The selection and quality of the produce there is amazing and inspiring. My favorite cookbook is Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I strongly recommend it, particularly if you're in a rut about cooking vegetables. I shy away from recipes that are very time-consuming or have a very long list of ingredients.
