Step 1

Get all the prep done before you start cooking: mince the garlic, finely chop the shallot and grate the ginger.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water (without salt) to a boil, add udon noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3

In the meantime, heat oil in a large skillet over medium low. Add garlic, ginger and shallot. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Add tomato paste, stir until darker in color. Then add red curry paste, stir until fully incorporated. Pour in coconut milk, stir to combine.

Step 4

Add soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, white miso paste, sriracha and lime juice. Stir to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add spinach, stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Then add basil leaves, black pepper and udon noodles. Toss until the noodles are well-coated, about 1 minute. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
