This vibrant dish makes a warm and cozy dinner perfect for the winter months, and pairs with everything from a bright Pinot to a crisp Rosé or sparkling wines. Take liberties with this recipe! Curries are very forgiving and scalable. Winter vegetables like kohlrabi, turnips, fennel, and cauliflower are all great options to substitute or add in.

  Soak noodles in cold water for at least 20 minutes or until soft, then drain and set aside.

  In a heavy pot, heat oil and add onion and shallots, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add ginger, garlic, and lemongrass and cook until fragrant, about one minute, stirring continuously. Stir in curry paste.

Add bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms and cook until bell peppers are fork-tender, 3 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add coconut milk, stock, bok choy, and sugar; stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the peppers, carrots, and bok choy have softened to your liking, about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
