6-8 ounces (1/2 bag) thin egg noodles
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk (regular or light)
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (regular or low-sodium)
1 cup water
2 teaspoons Sambal Oelek (chili paste)
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
1/2 roasted chicken, skinned, boned and thinly sliced
1/2 large red pepper, cut into matchsticks
1/2 cup fresh bean sprouts (optional)
4 fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup (packed) cilantro leaves

1
Boil the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with a little cold water to (help) prevent sticking, and set aside.
2
Meanwhile, in a 4 quart or larger saucepan over a medium-high flame, add the coconut milk, chicken broth, 1 cup water, Sambal Oelek and carrot sticks. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; uncover and continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until carrots are tender.
3
Add chicken and red pepper. Cook uncovered for another minute or two, until chicken is heated through.
4
Divide noodles among 4 bowls. Top with bean sprouts, if desired. Ladle soup over both, and top with basil and cilantro.
