🥣 Ingredients

For the Broth:

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (or neutral oil)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1–2 tbsp red curry paste (adjust to spice level)
  • 3 tbsp natural peanut butter (creamy)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1–2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar
  • Juice of ½ lime

For the Ramen:

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ cup cooked chickpeas
  • Optional veggies: spinach, bok choy, bell peppers

For Garnish (Optional but Highly Recommended):

  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Chili oil or red pepper flakes
  • Black sesame seeds
  • Crushed peanuts

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Build the flavor base

Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

2️⃣ Make it spicy & creamy

Stir in red curry paste and peanut butter until melted and combined.
Slowly whisk in vegetable broth, then add coconut milk, soy sauce, and maple syrup.

3️⃣ Simmer the soup

Bring to a gentle simmer. Add mushrooms and chickpeas.
Let cook for 8–10 minutes so flavors deepen.

4️⃣ Add noodles & greens

Add ramen noodles and any leafy greens.
Cook until noodles are tender (about 3–4 minutes).

5️⃣ Finish with brightness

Turn off heat and stir in fresh lime juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning—more soy sauce for salt, chili for heat, or peanut butter for richness.
