Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vegetable oil. Stir in the curry paste, garlic, and ginger paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the coconut milk in stages, stirring as you pour to prevent the sauce from separating.

Add the pork strips, carrots, and snap peas, and cook until the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the drained noodles to the skillet, then pour in the soy sauce mixture. Simmer until the sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
