Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2–3 tablespoons red or yellow curry paste (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or coconut sugar (optional, to balance spice)
  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 cup sliced shiitake or cremini mushrooms
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Toppings: sliced green onion, cilantro, lime wedges, chili oil, baked tofu or edamame

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger, cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Bloom the Curry Paste: Add curry paste to the pot and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to unlock full aromatic potential.
  3. Create the Broth: Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Add soy sauce and maple syrup (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Cook the Noodles and Veggies: Add ramen noodles, mushrooms, and bell pepper to the simmering broth. Cook for 4–5 minutes until noodles are tender. Stir in spinach until wilted. Finish with lime juice.
  5. Serve and Customize: Ladle into bowls and top with green onion, cilantro, lime wedges, and optional protein like baked tofu or soft-boiled egg.

Notes

Store in airtight container for up to 3 days. For best freezer results, freeze without noodles and cook fresh noodles when reheating. Adjust spice level by using more or less curry paste.
