Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 oz ramen noodles (85g)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 12 tsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ tsp green curry paste
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Heat Aromatics: Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add Curry Paste: Stir in the green curry paste and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma.
  3. Simmer Base: Whisk in half of the vegetable broth along with all the coconut milk, stirring regularly. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes to blend the flavors.
  4. Combine Peanut Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining vegetable broth and peanut butter until smooth. Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the simmering broth and coconut milk.
  5. Season and Simmer: Add agave syrup, soy sauce, and lime juice to the pan. Stir thoroughly, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if desired. Let the soup simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Cook Noodles: Add the ramen noodles directly into the saucepan and cook according to package directions until tender, usually about 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Serve: Once noodles are cooked and the broth is flavorful and slightly thickened, remove from heat and serve your Spicy Thai Peanut Ramen hot.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of green curry paste to control the spiciness level.
  • Use smooth peanut butter for easier blending and creamier texture.
  • Vegetable broth can be substituted with mushroom broth for a deeper umami flavor.
  • Add fresh cilantro or chopped peanuts as a garnish for added texture and freshness.
  • This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free if you use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
