  • 8 oz rice noodles or ramen noodles
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion or 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp red or yellow curry paste

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh herbs: cilantro, Thai basil, or mint

  2. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add broth and coconut milk, stir, and bring to a simmer.

Notes

  • Add protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a complete meal.
  • Mix in vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or carrots for extra nutrients.
  • Store noodles and broth separately to keep texture ideal.
  • Use curry powder if curry paste is unavailable, and enhance flavor with extra garlic and ginger.
  • For a vegan version, use vegetable broth and soy sauce, and skip fish sauce.
