• 4 ounces bean thread (cellophane) noodles
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, sliced
• One 14-to 15-ounce can light coconut milk
• One 15-ounce can baby corn
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1 medium zucchini, cut into eighths
• lengthwise, then into 2-inch strips
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into narrow 2-inch strips
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms, optional
• 3 scallions, cut into 1-inch lengths
• 2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Thai red curry paste, or more to taste, dissolved in a little hot water
• Salt to taste

1. Cover the noodles with boiling water in a heatproof container.
2. Cover and let stand for 6 to 8 minutes, or according to package directions, until al dente.
3. Drain, rinse briefly with cool water, then use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut here and there into shorter lengths.
4. While the noodles are soaking, heat the oil in a stir-fry pan.
5. Add the garlic and saute over medium-low heat until golden.
6. Add the remaining ingredients except salt; bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
7. Add the cooked noodles and season with salt.
8. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, until the noodles have absorbed much of the coconut milk, then serve.
9. Prepare Sauteed Tofu (page 62) or simply serve with a platter of sliced Thai-flavored baked tofu.
10. Complete the meal with Spinach and Red Cabbage Salad with Oranges and Almonds (page 180) or Mixed Greens with Sprouts, Apple, and Daikon (page 179).
