Coconut Curry Noodle Bowls with Chicken in a spiced green curry sauce. An easy flavorful gluten-free dinner.
My family begs for Thai food all of the time. These Thai Curry Noodles are not only easy (we are talking less than 30 minutes, people) but a dinner we crave all of the time. Basically, we drink this stuff like it is going out of style. Is that how the saying goes? Who knows. You get my point, right?
The beauty of Asian food is the abundance of spices, which are so good for the body. These noodle bowls are no exception! They make stellar leftovers. The key is getting enough leftover to even make leftovers. These are usually all devoured in our home! I could eat these noodle bowls for lunch every single day.
Curry Noodles are a dairy-free and gluten-free dinner made in less than 30 minutes.
I have said it before and I will say it again…I don’t like bland food. If I am going to eat healthily, it better taste good! Vegetables can taste amazing. It is all about the right seasoning and cooking techniques to bring out their natural flavors. These Curry Noodles came about out of necessity. It was back in the day when I was eating gluten-free and dairy-free full time. I had to find ways to not miss all of the dairy, cheese, and pasta! This is how these Chicken Curry Noodles came to be.
The spices used in these Thai curry noodles are turmeric, ginger, and garlic. All of those spices are known for being wonderful for your immune system. We can say this is an immune system boosting meal.
How to make Coconut Curry Noodle Bowls:
- Start off by sauteing onion, garlic, and ginger. This is the base of flavor and important for developing the Asian flavors.
- Add Green Curry Paste, Brown Sugar (or Agave Nectar), Chicken Broth, Turmeric, Soy Sauce, and Canned Coconut Milk. These ingredients create a creamy coconut curry sauce. Using full-fat canned coconut milk is a real difference maker. If you want it to be sugar-free, you can substitute agave nectar for the brown sugar.
- Toss with Udon Noodles or Rice Noodles. If you desire it to be gluten-free, use rice noodles. Cook udon or rice noodles according to package instructions and toss into sauce. If you want more noodles, double the number of noodles.
- Add shredded chicken. You can use shredded poached chicken or rotisserie chicken.
- Ladle into bowls and top with fresh lime juice, cilantro, sriracha sauce, and peanuts. If you want a creamy peanut butter flavor, add 1-2 Tablespoons of peanut butter to the creamy coconut sauce before serving.

Can I use yellow curry instead of green? We love love love yellow curry.
This was fantastic and came together so quick! We had chicken and tofu as add in options to keep everyone happy! Will certainly become a regular family favorite. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
We loved these coconut curry noodle bowls – so rich in flavor and very easy to make. I used chicken breast tenderloins sautéed in stock and spices vs. a rotisserie chicken. We opted for chopped cilantro, fresh lime, chopped peanuts and sriracha as our toppings.
This is my family’s favorite meal I make. My husband actually requested it for his birthday dinner! Sometimes I sub in zoodles to make it healthier, but it’s definitely tastier with real noodles. Thank you so much!!
