Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray oil.

- In the large saucepan or soup pot, add olive oil, minced garlic, and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook another 30 seconds to release the flavors.
- Pour in the chicken stock, coconut milk, soy sauce, and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth and combined. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the cooked meatballs to the pot and simmer for 10-15 minutes until fully cooked and tender. Stir in lime juice and zest just before serving.

Notes
Tips for Storing
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Freeze the broth and meatballs (without noodles) for up to 3 months. Add fresh noodles when reheating.
- Reheat: Warm gently on the stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth or coconut milk to loosen.
- Meal Prep Tip: Cook noodles separately to prevent them from absorbing too much liquid during storage.
- Flavor Deepens: The broth becomes even more flavorful the next day.
