Reviews
I’d never had curry in ramen before, but it was SO good with the coconut milk! The only thing I changed was 1 (6 oz) package of snow peas (assuming the 8 packages is a typo) and I used red curry paste since its what I had on hand. This recipe is great b/c you can use different types of protein and vegetables to switch it up!
I loved this! The ONLY changes I made was to chop two jalapeños (because mine were on the small side) and half the fish sauce because I had a picky eater guest I was worried about. I also added the chicken AFTER sautéing the jalapeños and red bell pepper (yes, I moved both peppers to step 1). I wanted everything to be semi-cooked before moving on in the recipe. Even with those minor modifications- this was delicious! Fun, easy, and a new twist on ramen deliciousness! Thank you fabeveryday! Kudos to a great dinner!
