Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1″ pieces

1 cup broccoli, chopped into 1″ pieces
1/2 cup carrots, diced

8 oz ramen noodles (see note)
2 cups vegetable broth

2 cups Thai yellow curry sauce (see note)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat for 30 seconds.
Step 2: Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 3: Pour in the vegetable broth, yellow curry sauce, and add the ramen noodles. Use a wooden spoon to break up the noodles and make sure they are fully submerged in the sauce.
Step 4: Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles have softened and absorbed the flavors.

Tips & Variations

For extra protein, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu when adding the broth and curry sauce.

Use fresh or dried yellow curry paste mixed with coconut milk if you can’t find pre-made yellow curry sauce.
Swap ramen noodles for rice noodles or soba for a different texture and flavor.
Add fresh herbs like cilantro or basil on top before serving for bright flavor.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or broth to restore moisture and prevent the noodles from sticking together.

How to Serve
