Directions

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the green beans for 2-3 minutes then rinse in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry.
Heat the canola oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 6-8 minutes, until softened.
Add the garlic, ginger, chile, and curry paste. Continue cooking for 1 minute.
Stir in the coconut milk, chicken stock, lime juice, fish sauce, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the protein and simmer for about 2 minutes.
Stir in the peppadew peppers and blanched green beans. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the basil, taste, and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions.
Add the noodles to a bowl, spoon the curry on top, add a squeeze of lime, and enjoy!
