There is nothing quite like a big bowl of ramen to warm you up after a long day. This Thai inspired version uses a luscious coconut curry base that comes together quickly in just one pot, making cleanup a breeze.

I love how the fresh ginger gives everything a nice zing, while the carrots add a little sweetness to the broth. If you want a bit more heat, feel free to stir in an extra spoonful of curry paste or a splash of chili oil right before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 packs ramen noodles, flavor packets discarded
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

7Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.

    Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink, then stir in the ginger, garlic, and curry paste for about one minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, then bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Add the carrot slices and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  5. 5

    Drop in the ramen noodles and cook according to the package directions until they are tender.

    Stir in the soy sauce and remove the pot from the heat.

  7. 7

    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, but keep in mind that the noodles will absorb more broth as they sit. If you are prepping this for work lunches, cook the noodles separately and add them to the broth when you are ready to eat.
