Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for variation)
  • 2 tablespoons red or yellow curry paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Noodles

  • 4 oz ramen noodles (or soba, udon, gluten-free rice noodles)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup spinach or baby bok choy

Protein Options

  • 6 oz tofu, chicken, shrimp, or 2 eggs (soft-boiled or cooked as preferred)

Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Fresh herbs: cilantro and/or green onions, chopped
  • Optional toppings: sliced fresh chilies, chili oil, toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Aromatics and Curry Base: Heat a bit of oil in a large pot, then sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Stir in your chosen curry paste and cook for about 1 minute to release its full aroma.
  2. Add Liquids and Simmer: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer to develop a rich, creamy base.
  3. Incorporate Vegetables and Protein: Add fresh vegetables and your protein choice to the simmering broth. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the protein is heated through or fully cooked.
  4. Cook the Ramen Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and rinse briefly to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Divide the noodles among bowls, ladle the hot coconut curry broth over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs, lime wedges, and optional toppings such as sliced chilies or sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier, more luscious broth.
  • Toast your spices by gently cooking the curry paste and aromatics to release more flavor.
  • Do not overcook the noodles; keep an eye to maintain the perfect chewy texture.
  • Add fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions just before serving for a bright, fresh note.
  • Squeeze lime juice last to preserve its fresh acidity and lift the broth flavors.
