Instructions
Preparation and Cooking | |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a large skillet or wok, combine the butternut squash, eggplant, and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. You may need to add more water as it cooks down to prevent sticking. |
| 2. | Prepare the rice noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside, ready for serving. |
| 3. | Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet, allowing the mixture to simmer for 25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. |
| 4. | If the sauce appears too thin, create a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with a tablespoon of sauce until smooth. Stir this back into the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency. |
| 5. | Serve the aromatic curry over the prepared rice noodles, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. |
