Ingredients
Soup Base
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
- 1–3 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (13.5 oz.) can coconut milk
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Fresh cracked pepper, to taste
Noodles and Finish
- 8 oz. ramen noodles
- Juice of 1 lime
For Serving
- Fresh cilantro
- Sliced jalapenos
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Heat the oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
- Cook the vegetables: Add 1 cup shredded carrots, 1 cup sugar snap peas, and 8 oz. sliced mushrooms to the pot along with a large pinch of kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add spices and aromatics: Stir in 1 to 3 tablespoons red curry paste (depending on desired heat), 2 teaspoons curry powder, 6 cloves minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons minced ginger. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to release the flavors.
- Simmer the broth: Pour in 6 cups vegetable broth and 1 (13.5 oz.) can of coconut milk. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cook the noodles: Add 8 oz. ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente and have absorbed some of the curry flavors.
- Finish the soup: Stir in the juice of 1 lime to brighten the flavor just before serving.
- Serve and garnish: Ladle the curry ramen into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced jalapenos, and lime wedges for added freshness and spice.
Notes
- Adjustment of curry paste allows control over spice level — add more for heat and less for mild flavor.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding tofu or your favorite plant-based protein.
- Ramen noodles can be substituted with gluten-free noodles if needed.
- To make this dish nut-free, ensure the curry paste does not contain any nuts.
- Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
