Thai Curry Noodles
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Thai Curry Noodles (Gang Kheow Won) is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We join up once a week to post recipes on changing topics.
This week we are discussing and sharing recipes that use spicy chillies, chiles or hot peppers. I decided to share a favorite recipe of mine for spicy Asian style noodles with chicken.
A local Thai place makes a version of this which they call “Spaghetti Gang Kheow Won”. Typically, gang kheow won refers to just a curry served with rice.
In making it for myself, I chose to use fresh Asian noodles instead of spaghetti, and not use typical Thai rice noodles (as you might for pad thai). The veggies are probably different. I know Thai eggplant, (the small round green ones) are used in the curry, but not in the noodles at the local place.
I added the long beans just because I find them interesting, and also a nice green veggie. Use fresh green beans if you need to, but long beans are not simply long green beans. They are slightly more fibrous and the flavor a tiny bit different.
Shiitake mushrooms are fantastic in this- I know they cost more, but they do weep less than white mushrooms. The green curry paste you can make your own or use your favorite brand.
I really enjoyed this version of noodles and it exceeded my expectations. It’s nice to have Thai noodles that aren’t as sweet as the usual Pad Thai or Pad Sieewe. I think if you are dieting, you might get by substituting shirataki noodles by rinsing them and adding to the coconut milk.

Pure comfort food is right. This looks amazingly delicious.
Beautiful noodles! Don’t you love it when a dish turns out even better than expected?
Such a colorful dish! My family would love it!
A lovely plate of Thai Curry Noodles. I’m not a fan of sweet noodles which is normally the case in some of the Thai Restaurants.
I’ve noticed that a lot of them overdo it with the palm sugar. I like mine heavier with fish sauce and heat.
That sauce sounds FABULOUS – your whole line up of Asian dishes to scroll down all look mouthwatering.
