- 1 Tbsp curry
- ½ tsp cumin

- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp palm sugar

- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger
- 2 shallots minced
- 1 cup coconut milk

Instructions
- Prepare noodles according to package instructions and set aside. In order to prevent them from sticking, it is a good idea to rinse them in cold water. Leave them in the cold water until you are ready to use them.
- In a small bowl combine curry, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and salt.
- Next, in another bowl combine tamarind paste, fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice.
- Heat oil in a wok on medium and saute shallots, garlic, and ginger until shallots are translucent.
- Add the coconut milk, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Add the spice mixture, stir, then add the shrimp and cook for about two minutes. Add the fish sauce mixture, and stir well.
- Add in the noodles and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
- Sprinkle with cilantro, and peanuts.
- Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- How long can I store the Indonesian curry in the refrigerator? Once the dish has cooled you can store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
- How do I reheat the curried noodles? Reheat the noodles in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and stop to stir every 30-45 seconds until hot. Once reheated do not cool and store again in the refrigerator, consume it right away. So only reheat the amount you will consume.
- Can I freeze the Indonesian curried noodles? No, the coconut milk will tend to split and separate when thawed and have an unpleasant texture.
- How do I prepare the rice noodles if the package instructions are not written in English? Yep, I have seen that on many rice noodles available in the Asian markets. The method I use is to boil some water, pour this over the dry noodles to just submerge them in a large bowl. Let them sit for about 5 minutes or until al dente. Rinse them with cool water in a colander to stop the cooking process and set aside.
