Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • (1) ounce can coconut milk

  • 1/4 cup red curry paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 large red peppers (sliced or chopped)
  • 2 sweet potatoes (peeled and sliced into ribbons or chopped)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped and finely packed)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, whisk together coconut milk, chicken broth, soy sauce, peanut butter, chili garlic sauce, red curry paste, and ginger. Bring to a boil and let simmer.
  2. Add your favorite vegetables -- red peppers, sweet potatoes, zucchini noodles, spinach, or anything else you would like to add in. Let veggies simmer until softened.
  3. Add fresh cilantro and lime juice and cook for several minutes longer. Check for seasonings.
  4. If you want to add ramen or rice noodles, cook according to package instructions. Place cooked noodles into serving bowls and ladle the Thai coconut curry on top of the noodles. 
  5. Top with fresh limes, cilantro, peanuts, and coconut.

Notes

  • I used Sweet Potato Ribbons from Trader Joe's. I used an entire package in this curry. 
  • I used Brown Rice Ramen Noodles in this curry. I found them at Costco. You can also use regular ramen noodles or rice noodles, if you want to keep it gluten-free. 
  • Soy Sauce has gluten in it. Tamari is a gluten-free alternative and can be found in the Asian section near the soy sauce.
