1 cup shredded carrots
5 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar, divided
12 ounces (¼-inch wide) rice noodles
¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
2 Thai chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup frozen edamame
1 cups shredded red cabbage
⅓ cup dry-roasted peanuts, chopped
2 tablespoons torn fresh Thai basil
Combine carrots and 2 tablespoons vinegar in small
bowl; set aside. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot.
Remove from heat, add noodles, and let sit, stirring
occasionally, until soft and pliable but not fully tender.
Drain noodles.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium
saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Stir
in Thai chiles, garlic, ginger, and curry powder and
cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in ½ cup
water, peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, and remaining 3
tablespoons vinegar and bring to simmer. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until slightly thickened and flavors meld,
about 2 minutes. Adjust consistency as needed with
additional water. Transfer sauce to bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat until just smoking. Add edamame
and cook until spotty brown but still bright green, about
2 minutes; transfer to bowl. In now-empty skillet, heat
remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat until
shimmering. Add drained noodles, 1¼ cups water, and
½ cup peanut sauce and cook until sauce has thickened
slightly and noodles are well coated and tender, about 1
minute.
Divide noodles among individual serving bowls, then
Lime wedges
top with carrots, edamame, and cabbage. Drizzle with
remaining peanut sauce, sprinkle with peanuts and basil,
and serve with lime wedges.
