Cooking Steps
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
-
Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper. Remove and discard any wilted outer leaves from cabbage and quarter lengthwise; remove thick core and stem. Chop cabbage into bite-size pieces. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if neccesary. Quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro.
-
Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes.
-
Drain noodles; return to pot and toss with a drizzle of oil.
-
While noodles cook, heat a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, 2 tsp sugar, and 2 TBSP water (4 tsp sugar and 4 TBSP water for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until water has evaporated and peanuts are coated in syrup and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes.
-
Turn off heat; transfer candied peanuts to a cutting board. Rinse out pan.
- Once peanuts are cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for peanuts over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until veggies are softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. TIP: Add another drizzle of oil if pan seems dry.
-
Stir in curry paste and cook until combined and fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
-
To pan with veggies, add drained noodles, chili sauce, ¼ cup water, 2 TBSP butter, and juice from half the lime (½ cup water and 4 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened and noodles are thoroughly coated, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Add splashes of water if sauce seems too thick.
-
Divide stir-fry between shallow bowls; top with candied peanuts and cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Mar 2026- Flavor: Many found it bland; consider adding extra curry paste, chili sauce, or aromatics like ginger for more depth 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Some felt overwhelmed by the veggie quantity; blanch broccoli first for even cooking times.
- Suggestions: Double the sauce for better coverage. Add a protein like tofu or ground turkey to bulk it up.
- Portions: Generous veggie servings, but noodle-to-vegetable ratio felt unbalanced for some. Adjust to preference.
- Texture: Candied peanuts add a delicious crunch, though a few had trouble with sticking.
