Green Curry with Brown Rice Noodles and Swiss Chard

This vibrant green curry with brown rice noodles and Swiss chard is a fresh, plant-based take on a classic Thai favourite. By blending your own aromatic paste from scratch using coriander, mint, ginger, and green chillies, you create a deep, complex flavour that shop-bought versions simply cannot match. The addition of Swiss chard provides a lovely earthy contrast to the creamy coconut milk, while the brown rice noodles add a satisfying texture to every bowl.

As a naturally vegan dish, this recipe is perfect for an easy mid-week dinner that feels both nourishing and indulgent. It is packed with iron from the leafy greens and anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and ginger. Serve it piping hot with plenty of fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime to brighten the savoury, aromatic sauce.

  • 3 green Thai chillies, coarsely chopped

  • 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, coarsely chopped

  • 2 teaspoons green peppercorns in brine

  • 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric

  • 2 cups coriander leaves with tender stems, plus more for serving

  • 1/3 cup mint leaves, plus more for serving

  • 60ml virgin coconut oil, melted, slightly cooled

  • 2 (375g) cans unsweetened coconut milk

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 1 lemongrass stalk, bottom third only, tough outer layers removed, bruised with the back of a knife

  • 4 cups coarsely chopped Swiss chard leaves (from about 1 1/2 bunches)

  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or honey

Pulse spring onions, garlic, chillies, ginger, green peppercorns, turmeric, 2 cups coriander, 1/3 cup mint, and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor until coarsely ground. With motor running, stream in coconut oil; process until smooth. Scrape paste into a medium pot and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until slightly darkened in colour and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add coconut milk, lime juice, and 725ml water and bring to a boil. Add lemongrass; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, 25–30 minutes. Stir in Swiss chard; cook until wilted and tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in coconut sugar; season curry with salt.

Spoon curry over noodles and top with more coriander and mint. Serve with lime wedges.
