This spicy noodle dish adapted from A Pinch of Yum recipe is a copycat version of a dish available at Noodles & Company. I tweaked the original a little to veganize it and doubled the noodles. If you don't have vegan fish sauce, use additional soy sauce.
INGREDIENTS
2 shallots, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
2 Tbsp red curry paste
14 oz can coconut milk
1/2 cup vegetable broth
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp chili paste (sambal oelek)
2 Tbsp vegan fish sauce
2 Tbsp soy/tamari sauce
8 oz rice noodles
1/2 a white onion, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup carrots, shedded
1 cup asparagus, chopped
1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
Sesame seeds
Limes wedges(optional)
Chopped cilantro or basil(optional)

2. In a large saucepan over medium heat with 2 tsp oil, saute shallots and ginger for 3-4 minutes. Add the curry paste and continue to saute for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, vegetable broth, sugar, chili paste, vegan fish sauce, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes.
