reasons to make thai coconut curry ramen

• Out-of-this-world red curry coconut ramen broth
• For all the ramen toppings – hello, crumbled pork and soft-boiled eggs
• Comes together lighting fast, making it the most perfect weeknight meal

let’s talk ramen toppings

There is no hard or fast rule on ramen toppings, but you can easily upgrade your ramen dish by adding so many different toppings, whether it’s proteins, vegetables, leafy greens or something crunchy, saucy or spicy.

tips and tricks for success

• Use full fat coconut milk. Although lite coconut milk can certainly be used, full fat coconut milk will yield a much more rich and creamy broth.
• Fish sauce is a hero. Fish sauce is a key ingredient here, balancing out the flavors, and adding saltiness and umami without overpowering it. A little bit goes a long way.
• Use your IP. The Instant Pot is a great, no-fuss easy way to make soft or hard-boiled eggs for topping.
• Mix it up. Swap the red curry paste for green, add in more veggies (cabbage, zucchini, mushrooms or bok choy) or use your favorite noodles (vermicelli, udon, rice or soba noodles).
• Divide and conquer. When storing leftovers, separate the noodles and broth. This will help the noodles retain its texture.
