  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics
    Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the coconut oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the onion and garlic begin to soften.
  2. Add Ginger and Lemongrass
    Add the julienned ginger to the pan. Take the lemongrass stalk(s) and snap them with your hands to release their flavors. Add the broken lemongrass to the pan. Continue to cook for a few more minutes, allowing everything to soften and become fragrant.
  3. Simmer the Broth
    Add the vegetable broth and coconut milk to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil. Once boiling, add the fish sauce, sugar, and red curry paste. Let the mixture cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Add Lime, Veggies, and Adjust Seasoning
    Stir in the lime juice, sliced jalapeño, mushrooms, and bok choy. Cook for a few more minutes until the mushrooms and bok choy have softened. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more red curry paste for extra heat or more lime juice for acidity.
  5. Prepare the Ramen Noodles
    While the soup is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
  6. Assemble the Dish
    In a serving bowl, add the cooked noodles and pour the soup over the top. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro, sesame seeds, and chili oil for added flavor.
