This was so good! So good! I have never used red curry paste or coconut milk and now I am all about recipes with these ingredients in it. My families only request was more noodles – and to make it even easier I just cooked the ramen noodles in the pot while simmering everything else. Worked perfectly! Thank you!

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.

Thai Coconut Curry Ramen: Frequently Asked Questions

What brand of red curry paste do you recommend?

We personally love Mae Ploy (contains shrimp paste). Thai Kitchen is also great with mild heat, and more readily available at most grocery stores.

What does fish sauce taste like?

Fish sauce has a strong, pungent “fishy” smell but when cooked, it brings in savory, salty, umami goodness.

How can I store leftovers?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days, separating the ramen noodles from the broth.

Is this freezer-friendly?

We do not recommend freezing this as coconut milk tends to separate when frozen.
