Ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
Two 13.5-ounce cans coconut milk
One 14-ounce bag plain frozen meatballs, thawed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 16-ounce packages fresh zucchini noodles (zoodles)
1 red Thai bird chile, sliced very thin on the bias
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons toasted black sesame seeds
2 teaspoons toasted white sesame seeds
1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan or wide pot over medium heat. Add curry paste and bloom in the oil, stirring frequently, until very fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add thawed meatballs and continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until meatballs are heated through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in another large pan over medium-high heat. Add the zoodles and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until zoodles are warmed through and some of their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Evenly divide the zoodles among 4 bowls. Ladle curry over zoodles and top each with a few meatballs. Top each with sliced Thai bird chiles, basil, cilantro and black and white sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges.
