Description

Vegan Thai Red Curry Ramen is a creamy, spicy, and comforting noodle bowl made with ramen noodles, coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, tofu, mushrooms, and fresh spinach for an easy vegan dinner packed with bold flavor.


Ingredients

2 packs ramen noodles

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 small yellow onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can full fat coconut milk

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1 tablespoon lime juice

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 cups baby spinach

14 ounces firm tofu, cubed

2 green onions, sliced

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1 teaspoon sesame seeds


Instructions

1. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.

2. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add the Thai red curry paste and stir for 1 minute to deepen the flavor.

4. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, then stir in the soy sauce and maple syrup. Bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Add the mushrooms, red bell pepper, and tofu. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

6. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package directions, usually 3 to 4 minutes.

7. Stir in the spinach and lime juice, then turn off the heat once the spinach has wilted.

8. Divide into bowls and top with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Store the noodles and broth separately if possible so the noodles stay tender instead of soaking up too much liquid.

Use full fat coconut milk for the creamiest broth and the best balance with the curry paste.

For more heat, add extra red curry paste or a little chili oil right before serving.
