Instructions

1. Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.

2. Stir in the garlic and ginger, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add the Thai red curry paste and stir well for 1 minute to toast the flavors.

4. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, then stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar until smooth.

5. Add the mushrooms, red bell pepper, and shredded carrots. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

6. Cook the ramen noodles separately according to package directions, then drain.

7. Stir the baby spinach into the broth and let it wilt for 1 to 2 minutes.

8. Divide the noodles between 4 bowls and ladle the hot curry broth and vegetables over the top.

9. Finish with green onions, cilantro, and lime wedges before serving.

Notes

Do not boil the coconut broth too hard after adding the coconut milk, or the texture can turn a little separated instead of staying smooth and creamy.
