For the longest time, I was scared of trying curries. It must have been because they seemed so different than other things I ate growing up. My apprehension of trying new foods started at a young age because my family was always fearful of anything but our “norm”.

We ate the Standard American Diet – mostly pasta,  a little chicken, lots of processed foods and no veggies because my mom doesn’t didn’t like them (as you may have read previously). Take-out Chinese food was a stretch for them for a long time.

Luckily I’ve grown out of my fear of trying new foods (and so has most of my family – I’m proud of you mommy!). Since going vegan I have been experimenting with all sorts of ingredients and traveling around the world has opened my eyes to a wide variety of flavors from different cultures.

One of my new obsessions to come out of my vegan diet is curries. After giving one a try I  couldn’t believe that I was hesitant to taste them!

I thought I’d do a “pre-curry” dish of quick curry noodles that have the basic flavors of a curry for anyone out there that might be hesitant to try a traditional curry.

The recipe only takes about 15 minutes to make so there’s not a whole lot of prep time and the only new ingredient that you will probably need is a jar of red curry.

I added some steamed broccoli for some fiber and vitamin C. Cashews also add protein as well as healthy fat and magnesium.

    I adore curries in just about any form and make simple curry coconut milk stir fries at home a lot. This looks fabulous, thanks! I could not stand mushrooms as a kid and appreciate them much more now, but still picky. 🙂

    Yay! I love curry, and this sounds all kinds of amazing! I haven’t tried out the adzuki bean spaghetti yet, but I’ll have to be on the lookout for that!

    Thanks for linking up with us! <3

      Thanks so much Courtney! I’ve been obsessed with curries lately. I’m going to put up a more traditional one soon but thought this was a good starter for people that maybe have not tried one yet.

    I added this to my meal plan for the week. Can’t wait to try it out =)
    Anything that says “quick” in the title is always so appealing for week night dinners!

      Thanks so much Kimmy. I call the sauce is “quick” because I didn’t use fresh garlic and ginger which takes a little more time to chop up and I steamed the veggies so save time instead of cooking them and simmering in the curry like I usually do.

      Let me know what you think!
