Green Curry Noodles with Avocado Sauce Recipe

Green curry noodles with avocado sauce are made with a spicy green curry sauce made from avocado, tossed with stir fried green veggies and rice noodles! Zoodles are tossed in for texture and more fiber. It's gluten free and vegan. Add tofu or chicken to add more protein and make it more filling.

My blog may no longer be named Avocado A Day, but my love of avocado is still going strong! 💪

While there are few things better than perfectly ripe and in season avocado drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, or smashed on toast made from really good sourdough, I do love to get creative with avocados and take advantage of their creamy texture by blending them into sauces, puddings, and dressings. For this recipe for green curry noodles, I whipped up an avocado sauce seasoned with green curry instead of using the traditional coconut milk for fat and creaminess. So if you're one of those (weird) people who doesn't like coconut but loves curry, this is the recipe for you. If you do love the taste of coconut, feel free to throw a few tablespoons of coconut cream into the mix! 

How to Make This Green Curry Noodles with Avocado Sauce Recipe

To keep with the green theme in this green curry noodles recipe, I used all green veggies. First, I stir fried green peppers and zoodles before tossing with rice noodles and the avocado curry sauce. I love zoodles, but only tossed with actual noodles. Rachael without carbs ---> scary hangry situation. 

To make the avocado sauce, I used a green curry paste from Thai Kitchen. I also keep their red curry paste on hand for quick curries. If you feel like gettin' fancy, feel free to make your own. This easy one from Minimalist Baker looks pretty good. The avocado sauce is really easy to make! You simply blend a ripe and creamy avocado with prepared green curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice and little bit of vegetable broth to thin it out, along with a bit of sugar to balance the flavors. It's simple to whip up in the food processor or blender vs. cooking on the stovetop!

Green Curry Noodles with Avocado Sauce Recipe Adaptions

To add more protein to these green curry noodles with avocado sauce, I would add diced cooked chicken, baked tofu cubes, or shrimp. You could also serve these with a few pork dumplings on the side.

I also love this recipe with a bit of sweetness from mango. If you have a julienne slicer, feel free to add some mango “noodles” at the end. It sort of reminds me of my kelp noodle salad with mango!

For a vegan or vegetarian version of these green curry noodles, make the avocado sauce with a vegan fish sauce, which you can purchase at health food stores, or make at home using this recipe.
