I love noodles. There is hardly any noodle dish which I don't like. But, if I have to pick my favorite noodle dish then it will be today's dish- Vegan Thai curry noodles.
I have served this dish to family and friends on many occasions and there is not a single person who didn't love it. And, though it's vegan even my carnivore friends are crazy about this vegan Asian noodles

Nobody believes that this dish gets ready within 30 minutes.
All you need to do is boil noodles of your choice. While the noodles are getting cooked bake tofu cubes, saute vegetables with Thai curry paste, add coconut milk, sauces. Finally, add noodles and tofu cubes. Garnish with roasted peanuts, chopped chili peppers, lime wedges, and coriander leaves.
Enjoy your delicious meatless dinner!
Type of Thai curry paste to use
I have used home-made Red Thai curry paste. It's very easy to make. However, if the ingredients used in my Red Thai curry paste are not easily available to you, you can also use store-bought curry paste.
If you are a vegan or vegetarian make sure that the curry paste you buy is vegan or vegetarian. Most of them will have fish sauce or shrimp in it but some brands have started selling vegan versions too.
Also, you don't necessarily need to use red curry paste. If you prefer the taste of green, yellow, or any other Thai curry paste, you can make this dish with it too.
Recipe tips & tricks
- I have used only broccoli, carrots, and tofu in this dish. You can also mushrooms, French beans, or any other vegetable of your choice.
- If you are making curry paste at home and don't want the noodles to be very spicy-remove the seeds of chili peppers.
- You don't necessarily need to use Red Thai curry paste, this dish can be made with any type of Thai curry paste.
- If you don't have Asian noodles at home, use normal spaghetti. However, for Asian recipes don't keep them al dente. The spaghetti should not be mushy but fully cooked.

Believe it or not had Thai curry noodles loaded with tofu today for lunch.. not homemade but ready made from a vegan restaurant. So delicious, and now have your recipe to follow and make it at home. Like the idea of adding other veggies too.

Too good, this vegan thai curry noodles looking absolutely amazing. I can feel the crunch of peanut and broccoli. Don't like tofu so when I make this recipe can I use cottage cheese?.
Hi Hem lata. Thanks for your comment. Yes, you can use paneer too.
If you use store-bought red curry paste, how much do you use? It's just not clear from your recipe. If I had to guess from the pictures, I'd say ... maybe half a cup? Please advise!
Hi Debbie. If you are using store-bought paste 2-3 tablespoons should be enough.
It looks delicious I loved it Thanks for sharing I will try it at home
