1. Gather all ingredients, chopping vegetables and prepping any proteins you plan to add.
2. Heat a pot and add a splash of oil. Sauté garlic, ginger, and onions or shallots until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Stir in red curry paste until well blended with the aromatics.
4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, followed by the coconut milk. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
5. Gently add the ramen noodles to the boiling broth, along with your chosen protein such as ground pork, chicken, or shrimp. Let them cook through, absorbing the flavors.
6. Incorporate soy sauce and fish sauce to season the broth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Optionally, add a dash of lime juice for added zest.
7. Customize with vegetables such as bok choy, cabbage, mushrooms, or carrots, adding them to the broth as the noodles cook.
8. Serve the ramen hot in bowls.
9. Garnish with toppings like soft-boiled eggs, fresh cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds, chili oil, or sriracha as desired.
10. Enjoy your flavorful Coconut Curry Ramen!
