  3. Add green curry paste and full fat coconut milk. Stir in granulated sugar and chili paste, like Sambal oelek. Add fish sauce and soy sauce. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 15 minutes to thicken.
  4. In a medium sized skillet, add olive oil over low to medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, carrots, and eggplant. Cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes until the vegetables become tender. Add shrimp and cook until the shrimp turns reddish orange. Transfer the shrimp and vegetables into the green curry. Stir to combine and coat the shrimp and vegetables with the green curry sauce.
  5. Place the soba noodle in a medium sized bowl. Pour the shrimp green curry with vegetables over the noodles. Top with black sesame seeds, torn basil and mint leaves, and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
  6. Serve this shrimp coconut green curry soba noodle bowl warm.
