My veggie noodle obsession continues. Today I remembered two bits of information from my IP diet days. One was from a message board about how a guy would cut his cabbage very thin and use it place of pasta for a low carb pasta dish. I used to do that a lot with a tomato pesto I had years ago.

Then I saw a post where the person would spiralize (there’s that made up word again) their cabbage for quick and easy chopping. So today I decide to use my spiralizer to make these low carb red curry cabbage noodles. With just a few ingredients I made this tasty side dish in about 15 minutes.

What Thai Curry Paste Do I Use?

I have never made a Thai curry paste nor an Indian curry paste as it seems to be a lot of work. Last year I came across a review for Mae Ploy Curry Paste on another blog and found them at one of the Asian markets. They were only $2.59 for one container and let me tell you they last forever and taste great.

Check out the ingredients: dried red chile, garlic, shallot, lemongrass, salt, galanga, shrimp paste, kaffir lime peel. It’s all natural and doesn’t use any MSG. 

Making Cabbage Noodles

Once you have your curry paste, you next need to spiralize the cabbage to make your noodles. As you can see it just basically shredded mine. While it was quite quick, it was not that easy. The cabbage would fall apart and get stuck. I think next time I would just try to chop it as thinly as possible. But it wasn’t bad by any means.

Low Carb Red Curry Cabbage Noodles Recipe

This is an easy one today. First you make your sauce by adding the red curry paste, Lakanto golden sweetener and coconut milk to a large saute pan like pictured below. Whisk until well combined and let it simmer for a few minutes.

Next add in your cabbage noodles, mix in with the sauce, cover and cook for 5-10 minutes until they cooked to your liking.

To garnish I like to add cilantro and a few crushed cashews over top. You can add as much as you want but the cashews can add up carb-wise so take that into account.

A note about the sweetener 

I really Lakanto golden for this recipe as it’s a bit like brown sugar. However you can use any kind of sweetener you want. If you don’t care about carbs you can use brown sugar or white sugar.

Well I hope you enjoy this quick and easy low carb side dish recipe. You would be surprised how tasty cabbage noodles are! The nutritional information for 1 serving is:
