Curry Ramen

This Curry Ramen is an adaptation of our Creamy Coconut Ramen with the addition of sautéing our vegetables and protein using curry powder and paste. This dish is sooo delicious and easy to make on a low budget. These are good spices to keep around when wanting to make a variety of simple but tasty dishes.

Ingredients

Serves: 2 TIme: 30-45 minutes

Curry Ramen

• 2 packs instant ramen (discard flavor packs) 
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 can lite coconut milk*
• 1 Tbs red curry paste
• Rice vinegar, 2-3 tsp
• Olive oil, 1 Tbs
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup cauliflower small florets, chopped
• 1/2 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1 pack of tempeh, cubed
• 1 Tbs curry powder
• 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp Cumin
• Optional toppings: chili flakes, sriracha, chopped cilantro, chopped scallions

Substitute protein for preferred protein. See our Guide to Stir Fry for alternatives

*Light coconut milk is a low-fat alternative. You may also substitute for unsweetened, unflavored soy or nut milk, cow’s milk (for non-vegan), or you may dilute regular coconut milk with water (i.e. 2/3 cup coconut milk + 1/3 cup water for a recipe that calls for 1 cup)

Directions

1. Begin by preparing your protein and vegetables and set them aside. If using tofu, allow time for the tofu to be pressed and dried. 
2. Cook your protein first by heating about a tablespoon of sesame oil in a pan and stir fry until fully cooked. Once cooked, remove from the pan onto a plate with a paper towel and set aside. 
3. Then, begin sautéing the vegetables in sesame oil. Cook until they are slightly tender. 
4. While your vegetables begin sautéing, in a pot heat 2 cups of water, lime juice, and coconut milk. Remove the ramen from their packs. 
5. Add the seasoning, curry paste, and rice vinegar to the vegetables. Once the onions are translucent and the vegetables have softened, reduce heat to low and add in your protein. 
6. When the broth is reaching a boil, add in the ramen and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the noodles are soft. 
7. At this point, your noodles and vegetables are done. Turn off the heat. If you’re preparing any add ons like a poached egg or minced cilantro, get that ready. 
8. Evenly distribute the broth, noodles, and stir-fry between two bowls. Serve and enjoy!
