Ingredients
  

  • 2 red bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms any kind, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 5 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
  • 1 13.5-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 seasoning packet from the ramen noodles
  • 3 3-ounce packages instant Maruchan chicken or vegetable-flavored ramen noodles
  • 1 14- to 16-ounce block extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 lime halved
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced peppers, mushrooms, and salt. Stir occasionally and cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  • Stir in red curry paste (start with 2 tablespoons for mild spice or up to 4 for a bolder flavor). Cook for another minute or two, stirring frequently, until the mixture darkens slightly and sticks to the pot.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock, coconut milk, and the seasoning packet from the ramen noodles. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces. Once the broth is boiling, add the tofu, ramen noodles, and spinach. Stir and cook for about 3 minutes until the noodles are soft.
  • Squeeze the lime halves into the soup and stir in the fish sauce and soy sauce for extra depth of flavor.
  • Serve immediately, dividing the soup among bowls. Enjoy!

Notes

Serving Tip: Use tongs to serve the noodles and a ladle for the broth for easier handling.
Chicken Variation: For a chicken ramen noodle soup, swap the tofu for a boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces. Add it to the pot with the peppers.
More Spice: Increase red curry paste or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
