Ingredients
  • 1 packet Instant Noodles
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Red Curry Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Lime Juice
  • 1/4 cup Vegetables (optional, e.g., spinach, bell peppers, scallions)
  • 1/4 cup Cooked Shrimp or Tofu (optional)

Prepare the Noodles

Cook the instant noodles according to package directions, usually by boiling them in water for a few minutes. Drain the noodles and set aside.

Make the Curry Sauce

In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat on the stovetop or in the microwave until warm, stirring until the curry paste is dissolved.

Combine and Simmer

Add the cooked noodles to the curry sauce. Stir to coat the noodles evenly. Simmer for a minute or two to allow the flavors to meld together. If using vegetables, add them now and cook until tender-crisp.

Finish and Serve

Stir in the lime juice. Top with cooked shrimp or tofu, if desired. Serve immediately.
