Description
A comforting bowl of ramen in a rich, creamy coconut curry broth with aromatic spices, fresh vegetables, and noodles.
Ingredients
4 cups vegetable broth
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup baby spinach
1/2 cup chopped carrots
2 green onions, sliced
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, lime juice, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes until the curry paste dissolves and the flavors meld together.
- Add the ramen noodles to the pot, breaking them apart gently. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions (about 3-4 minutes).
- Toss in the sliced mushrooms, carrots, and spinach. Let everything simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the noodles are fully cooked.
- Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce or lime juice if needed. For extra heat, add red pepper flakes.
- Serve the ramen hot, garnished with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro on top.
