Red Curry Ramen with Coconut Milk and Turmeric

The main ingredients in this red curry ramen recipe are red curry paste, coconut milk, and turmeric. Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its distinctive color and flavor and has many health benefits.

Turmeric can help reduce inflammation. It is most effective and better absorbed when consumed with healthy fats and black pepper. 

Also known as Curcuma longa, turmeric has been a vital cooking component in India and Asia for centuries.

Turmeric is a member of the same family of plants as ginger and cardamom: Zingiberaceae. Many species from this family are known for their ability to reduce inflammation and ease nausea.

Red Curry Coconut Milk Ramen

The spicy red curry paste and the fatty coconut milk in this recipe help to absorb all the benefits of turmeric.

Here are the ways turmeric can boost overall health:

1. Reduces Inflammation: Turmeric can help ease inflammation that can cause a plethora of other problems. Inflammation is the cause of arthritis, IBS, and migraines. A few studies have shown that turmeric is an effective aide in easing inflammation and pain. 

2. Lowers Blood Sugar & Cholesterol: Incorporating turmeric into a healthy diet can help people with type 2 diabetes maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Incorporating turmeric into a plant-based diet helps to lower cholesterol and internal inflammation significantly. 

3. Helps with Menstruation: The curcumin found in turmeric can help to ease inflammation, which helps to ease menstrual symptoms like bloating and cramps.

We used Thai Kitchen Brand Red Curry Paste for this recipe, and the rest of the ingredients came from our local Asian Super Market.

    Hi-Thanks for the recipe. I’m assuming when you say agave in the instructions, you mean the maple syrup, right? Thanks again!

      Yes! Thank you for pointing that out. In the old version of the recipe we used agave syrup.

    Ours wasn’t exactly the same; had to make some changes like used green curry, added edamame, tofu, & peas, & used cashew cream instead of coconut milk. Everyone ate it! I say that’s a win with a family of 6!

    I’ve been following you on IG for about a year and love your posts and your informative website. I’ve made this recipe 2X with some personal modifications (added sweet potato, a soft-boiled egg and used bok choy for the spinach) and it is absolutely mouthwatering. Thanks!

    Don’t you need to cook the ramen noodles?

      The broth should be boiling when you ladle it into bowls with the dry noodles, and that cooks the noodles. You can cook them first in water if you prefer.

    It was delicious, but I used organic red curry paste, and the broth was so hot (spicy) that I could barely eat it. And I love spicy hot food. Maybe it was the brand of curry paste I used (Mekhala)

combined two of the best fermented foods to make the best pancakes. And yes, you can ferment the batter overnight in the fridge for easier digestion.

Roasting garlic increases beneficial garlic compounds like diallyl sulfide and diallyl disulfide — or DADS, for short. Both of these compounds have been studied for their anti-inflammatory (anti-cancer), antioxidant, and antifungal properties.

It’s definitely a sauerkraut you should keep in your rotation.

To get the recipe google “garlic sauerkraut.” and you’ll see mine it’s the first one.

I know, I know, I’m making everything with cottage cheese right now. But how can I not? Cottage cheese is one of the most protein-rich fermented foods.

If you love ice cream and cheesecake-like flavor, you’ll love this recipe. it’s high in protein, requires only four simple ingredients, and does not require churning. So, you do not need an ice cream maker!

A half-cup serving of this ice cream has 12 grams of protein, making it a healthy and balanced sweet snack. Get the recipe from the recipe index linked in my profile.

Adding water standardizes my recipes, making sure everyone gets enough brine, regardless of cabbage variability.

Bok choy is similar in texture to Napa cabbage and Bok choy is similar in texture to Napa cabbage and lovely for fermentation. 

Since bok choy and all cabbages grow low and very close to the soil, their microbiome composition is wonderful! This makes all cabbages easy vegetables to ferment, and fermented bok choy is one of my absolute favorites.

Google fermented bok choy and you’ll see my recipe, it’s the first one. ☝🏼 #cabbage #fermentation #homestead
