Ingredients

  • 2 packs Ramen Noodles (fresh or instant ramen noodles, discard seasoning packets)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger (peeled and minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil (toasted sesame oil for flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste (smooth tomato paste)
  • 2 tablespoons Red Curry Paste (Thai red curry paste)
  • 2 cups Coconut Milk (full‑fat canned coconut milk, shaken)
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock (low‑sodium chicken broth or stock)
  • 2 stalks Green Onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup Bean Sprouts (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 large Egg (soft‑boiled, halved)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

  1. Mince Garlic and Ginger

    Place the garlic cloves and ginger on a cutting board and mince them finely with a chef's knife.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Cook the Ramen Noodles

    Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add the ramen noodles, and cook according to package instructions (usually 2–3 minutes) until just al dente. Drain in a colander and set aside.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 212°F

  3. Build the Red Curry Broth

    In the same large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and red curry paste, cooking for another 30 seconds. Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk, stirring to combine, then add the remaining coconut milk and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: medium heat

  4. Adjust Broth Volume

    Taste the broth and add more chicken stock or water if you prefer a lighter soup. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes to meld flavors.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: medium heat

  5. Assemble the Ramen Bowls

    Divide the cooked noodles between two serving bowls. Ladle the hot red curry broth over the noodles. Top each bowl with sliced green onions, bean sprouts, and a halved soft‑boiled egg. Finish with a grind of fresh black pepper.

    Time: PT5M

Critical Success Points

  • • Mincing garlic and ginger finely to release flavor without burning.
  • • Cooking ramen noodles just to al dente to avoid sogginess.
  • • Soft‑boiling the egg to achieve a runny yolk.

Safety Warnings

  • • Hot oil can splatter; keep a lid nearby.
  • • Boiling water and broth can cause severe burns—handle with care.
  • • Eggs should be cooked to at least 140°F (60°C) to reduce risk of salmonella.
