This Thai curry gets a nutritional boost with the addition of non-starchy veggies like zucchini and bell pepper. Light coconut milk adds a hint of sweetness and creaminess, while the ginger and curry paste add savory spice and fire. Instead of noodles, you can also spoon this over whole grain brown rice to sop up all the delicious sauce.
