Ingredients

Scale

Coconut Curry Broth

  • 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or coconut oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons curry paste
  • 14 oz (400 ml) coconut milk
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Noodles

  • 200 g ramen noodles (or spiralized zucchini noodles for low-carb version)

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or other greens

Protein Options

  • 150 g firm tofu, chicken breast, or shrimp (choose your preferred protein)

Garnishes (optional)

  • Fresh green onions, chopped
  • Chopped peanuts or roasted peanuts
  • Soft-boiled egg
  • Fresh cilantro or Thai basil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatic Base: Start by heating oil in a pot and sautéing the minced garlic and fresh ginger until fragrant. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the deep, complex flavors. Add coconut milk and broth, stirring well to create the rich curry soup base.
  2. Cook Your Protein and Vegetables: Add your chosen protein (tofu, chicken, or shrimp) to the simmering broth and cook until done through. Then add chopped vegetables like bell peppers and carrots, cooking just until tender but still vibrant.
  3. Boil the Ramen Noodles: While the broth simmers, cook ramen noodles separately according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and remove excess starch.
  4. Combine and Finish: Add the cooked noodles to the broth. Stir in fresh spinach or greens just before serving to allow them to wilt slightly. Finish the dish with a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs such as cilantro or Thai basil for garnish to enhance aroma and flavor.
  • Keep noodles al dente as they will absorb broth and soften further.
  • Adjust spice levels gradually by tasting the broth and adding curry paste or chili accordingly.
  • Make the broth and prep ingredients ahead of time to speed up cooking on busy days.
  • Always finish with lime or lemon juice to brighten the rich coconut curry.
