Delicious Thai Green Curry Ramen Recipe That’s Easy To Make
Serves 2 – 4
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp coconut oil or peanut oil
Green Curry Paste (I used Asian Home Gourmet Thai Green Curry paste)
4 small green Thai chilies, OR substitute 1 to 2 jalapeno peppers
1/2 cup shallot OR purple onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 thumb-size pieces galangal OR ginger, grated
1 stalk fresh lemon grass, minced OR 3 Tbsp. frozen or bottled prepared lemongrass
1/2 tsp. ground white pepper
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
3 tsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. lime juice
salt to taste
1 small onion, large diced
2 cups carrots, large diced
2 cups oyster mushroom, large diced
1/2 can coconut milk
1/2 can water
2 kaffir lime leaves OR substitute 1 tsp. grated lime zest
1 package fresh Japanese ramen OR substitute dried ramen
1 cup bean sprouts, washed
2 radishes, washed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Generous handful fresh thai basil and cilantro, washed and dried
METHOD
1. Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl around, then add curry paste, chiles, shallots, garlic, ginger and lemon grass and diced onion. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add coconut milk and water. Bring curry to a boil and reduce to a slight simmer.
2. Add the carrots. Cover and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
3. Meanwhile bring a medium pot of water to a boil. This will be your cooking water for the ramen. Place ramen into boiling water and loosen the noodles, making sure they are evenly distributed. Cook until al dente, drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
4. Add oyster mushrooms, lime leaves/zest, white pepper, and brown sugar to curry, stirring well to incorporate. Simmer another 5-10 minutes and add fish sauce and lime juice.
Salt to taste and adjust flavors to your liking – adding more fish sauce to make it saltier, more sugar for sweetness, lime for acid and if it’s too spicy you can temper it with more coconut milk.
5. Place ramen into curry and turn off heat. Divide into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, bean sprouts and shaved radish.
Cooks notes: Feel free to add other ingredients like bell peppers, tofu, squash or sweet potatoes. And you can easily add meats to this curry like chicken, beef or prawns.
