Our vegan and healthy coconut curry ramen is one of my favorite recipes. This recipe can be seriously addictive! These ramen noodles are made with crispy pan-fried mushrooms, veggies, and ramen noodles. All cooked in a deliciously creamy Thai curry coconut sauce, with hints of ginger, garlic and some paprika flakes for seasoning (if you like). The perfect ramen recipe for the whole long cold winter!
Ramen FAQ
Which vegetables are best for ramen? Feel free to use whatever veggies you have on hand or in the pantry to create your own personal preference of this recipe. I could imagine adding broccoli, peas, pumpkin or sweet potatoes to this ramen in addition to the version described below. And because winter is of course kale (I love kale).
Is the food spicy ? This curry ramen can be as spicy or mild as you want! As I wrote it’s not very spicy, you can spice it up with red pepper flakes or some sriracha and taste it hot. To be on the safe side, start with a small amount of spiciness and add more as needed. Also, some curry pastes are much spicier and spicier than others. So if you use a different one than I used, start small and add more until you are happy with the flavor.
storage ? Although curry ramen is always best served fresh, it will actually keep in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. The noodles can get mushy in storage and absorb a lot of the broth, so there’s probably no liquid left at the end. To prevent this, you can keep the pasta and broth separate. When reheating the soup, simply add the ramen to the hot soup and cook as instructed in the recipe.
