Notes
A note on the red curry paste: if you are sensitive to spice, the Thai Kitchen brand is a milder option.
This recipe is dairy-free.
Make it gluten-free: use gluten free ramen noodles (we like the Lotus rice ramen noodles) and use coconut aminos or tamari in place of soy sauce.
Make vegetarian or vegan ramen: simply substitute the chicken with 2 additional cups of vegetables. Use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. You could also serve with a side of crispy tofu or crispy chickpeas for a plant-based protein source.
