1 tbsp vegetable oil or coconut oil
3 tbsp red curry paste
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

Instructions
Cook rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 4-6 minutes. Drain and toss with oil. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Add bell peppers and snap peas (or spinach) to the curry Sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet.
