Thai-Inspired Coconut Curry Ramen

Today I am excited to share a unique and flavorful dish that has been a recent favorite in my kitchen – Thai-Inspired Coconut Curry Ramen. This dish combines the comforting elements of classic ramen with the aromatic and bold flavors of Thai curry. It’s perfect for a cozy night in or a weekend meal prep.

Ingredients:

• ramen noodles (200g)
• coconut milk (400ml)
• red curry paste (2 tbsp)
• vegetable broth (500ml)
• tofu, cubed (200g)
• bell pepper, thinly sliced (1)
• mushrooms, sliced (100g)
• baby corn, halved (100g)
• lime, juiced (1)
• fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• wooden spoon
• knife
• cutting board
• ladle

To start, heat a large pot over medium heat and add the coconut milk and red curry paste. Stir until well combined and aromatic, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add in the tofu, bell pepper, mushrooms, and baby corn. Let everything cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. Squeeze in the lime juice for a pop of freshness.

While the soup is simmering, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, divide the noodles into serving bowls and ladle the coconut curry soup over them.

Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro for a burst of herbaceous flavor. Enjoy the creamy coconut broth, spicy curry notes, and tender veggies with every slurp of noodles.
