Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients: grate the garlic and ginger, and tear the shiitake mushrooms into small pieces.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the shiitakes and cook until they start to brown. Sprinkle with another tablespoon of sesame oil, season with salt and pepper, and cook until crispy. Remove the mushrooms from the pot and set them aside.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the grated garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Deglaze the pot with the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Stir in the turmeric, brown sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Then, add the red curry paste and chili paste (if using). Mix in the coconut milk and squeeze in the lime juice.
- Once the broth comes to a boil, add the ramen noodles and cook for 2 minutes. If you are not serving immediately, it’s best to cook the noodles separately to prevent them from soaking up the broth.
- To serve, ladle the broth and noodles into bowls. Top with the crispy shiitakes, sesame seeds, chopped chives, chili oil, and a boiled egg. Enjoy!
- Details: This savory ramen is packed with rich flavors from the shiitake mushrooms, coconut broth, and a hint of heat from the chili paste. The perfectly boiled eggs add a creamy texture, making this dish a satisfying meal.
