These curry noodle bowls are AMAZING! There is so much flavor in this tasty, slurpy, bowl of noodles. Make this yellow curry recipe with chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
I'm a huge fan of having a bowl of noodles.
There is nothing quite like a big bowl of warm slurpy noodles to warm the soul.

Yellow curry has a warm and comforting flavor. When you pair all that flavor with tender juicy chicken and rice noodles you get a bowl of satisfaction.

Yellow curry noodles reheat really well. However, you should leave the extra toppings off until they noodles are reheated. The contrast of warm noodles and fresh crunchy veggies is unbelievably good.
