GREEN CURRY RAMEN

This recipe has QUICKLY become a staple in our house! It's modeled after a green curry ramen we get at a ramen place near our house and it's just TO DIE FOR.

Ingredients:

  • 2 packs of ramen (you'll use the noodles, not the seasoning)
  • Green Thai Curry Paste (2 tbsp)
  • Chicken or Veggie Broth (4 cups)
  • Tofu (extra firm)
  • Cornstarch
  • EVOO
  • 1 Onion chopped
  • 3-5 minced Garlic Cloves (the more the better in my opinion)
  • Ginger (1 tbsp grated)
  • 1/2 can Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • Pea Pods (handful)
  • Spinach (handful)
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Bean Sprouts
  • Cilantro
  • Green Onion
  • Jalapeno (sliced, optional)
  • Sriracha (optional)

TO MAKE:

  • Start by cooking tofu: drain and dice the tofu (let it sit on a towel and dry out for a while prior to cooking to speed up the cook time). Toss tofu in evoo, corn starch, and a lil salt (garlic salt if you'd like). Put in oven and cook for 30ish min until crispy.

Once the tofu is in for 15-20 min:

  • In a large pot, add EVOO and onion and cook until transluscent
  • Add in minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another min
  • Stir in green curry paste then add veggie broth and coconut milk
  • Cook until simering then add noodles and pea pods
  • Once noodles are cooked add in spinach and cilantro and stir until wilted
  • Add in cooked tofu and stir for another min
  • Once in a bowl, top with sesame seeds, bean sprouts, more cilantro, green onion, lime juice, jalapeno (optional), and sriracha (optional)
