Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons curry paste (red, yellow, or green)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 200g ramen noodles
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for sautéing)

Fresh Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or leafy greens

Aromatics & Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Optional Garnishes and Additions

  • Chopped cilantro
  • Sliced green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Crushed peanuts or cashews
  • Fresh Thai basil (optional)
  • Fresh chili slices (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Heat a splash of oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, to build the flavor base for the broth.
  2. Add Curry Paste: Stir in the curry paste and cook for another minute to bloom the spices and release their aromas.
  3. Pour in Liquids: Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth to the pot, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to meld the flavors.
  4. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the chopped bell peppers, carrots, and spinach to the simmering broth. Cook until the vegetables are tender but vibrant, preserving their texture.
  5. Cook Ramen Noodles: Drop the ramen noodles into the broth and cook according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes) until tender yet chewy.
  6. Final Seasoning Touches: Stir in soy sauce or tamari and fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more curry paste or lime juice as needed to balance flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic, ginger, and herbs for the best flavor.
  • Add noodles towards the end to prevent overcooking and maintain their texture.
  • Balance richness with lime juice or a pinch of sugar to brighten the dish.
  • Adjust curry paste quantity to control the spice level to your preference.
  • Enhance with fresh herbs, crunchy nuts, and a drizzle of chili oil for added flavor and texture.
