Ingredients
  

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

2 tablespoons red curry paste

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 teaspoons ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

200g ramen noodles (fresh or dried)

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button)

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup baby spinach

1 carrot, julienned

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

1-2 Thai bird chilies, sliced (optional for extra heat)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Stir in Curry Paste: Add the red curry paste and stir well to combine with the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to release the flavors.

      Add Broth and Coconut Milk: Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring well to incorporate the curry paste. Bring to a gentle simmer.

        Season the Broth: Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. If you prefer a spicier broth, add the Thai bird chilies at this stage.

          Cook the Vegetables: Add the sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper, and carrot to the pot. Allow them to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

            Cook the Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

              Combine: Once the vegetables are tender, add the baby spinach to the curry broth. Simmer for an additional minute, just until the spinach wilts.

                Serve: Place a serving of cooked ramen noodles in each bowl, then ladle the hot spicy coconut curry broth and vegetables over the noodles.

                  Garnish and Enjoy: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing. Serve immediately.
