- 2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced or grated
- 1 (13.5-oz) can full-fat coconut milk
- 3 1/2 c. water
- 1 lb. (16-oz.) rice noodles

Instructions
Steps:
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add curry paste, garlic, and ginger and cook until paste appears to dry out and is very fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and stir to combine, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add water, noodles, vegetables, half the cilantro, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium and cook, stirring frequently, until noodles are cooked, about 10 minutes.
