Add chicken, tofu, shrimp or enjoy on their own. Whatever you decide, these avocado green curry noodles are the perfect creamy and spicy dish.

Avocado Green Curry Noodles

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 (like an avocado hollandaise), puddings (like this chocolate mousse), and dressings (like this vegan avocado fajita dressing). For this green curry sauce, I used avocado as a base instead of coconut. So if you’re one of those (weird) people who doesn’t like coconut but loves the idea of 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!

To keep with the green theme, 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.

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.

I would add some fried/baked tofu cubes, chicken or shrimp for protein.
