14 - Salt and pepper as needed.

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Boil some water in another pot and cook the noodles for about 2 minutes. Rinse under cold water after draining. Stir gently to keep them from clumping.
02 - Warm oil in a large pot on medium. Toss in onion, bell peppers, carrots, and celery. Let them soften for 3-4 minutes.
03 - Stir in garlic, ginger, and curry paste. Cook it all for 2 minutes until it smells amazing.
04 - Add broth and mix. Turn it up to a boil, then leave it to simmer on low for 15 minutes, letting the flavors deepen.
05 - Pour in the creamy coconut milk and cook for another 10 minutes. It’ll start to thicken a little.
06 - Turn off the stove. Mix in the cilantro, the noodles, and lime juice. Add salt and pepper as you like.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Best enjoyed warm just after making.
02 - You can find red curry paste in international food aisles.
