Recipe Ingredients

Mushrooms – use any type of mushroom you like or a combination! Some of my favorites are white mushrooms, cremini, and shiitake.

Ginger – fresh ginger adds a lot of flavor and aroma, but you can use 1 tsp. of dried ginger as a substitute if you need it.

Chicken stock – if you want to make a vegetarian version of this recipe, you can use vegetable stock instead.

Soy sauce – I prefer low-sodium soy sauce. Try substituting tamari and using gluten-free noodles to keep this recipe gluten free!

Coconut milk – use canned, full-fat coconut milk for best results.

Vinegar – you can use rice wine vinegar, white distilled vinegar, or white wine vinegar in this recipe.

Red curry paste – this super flavor-packed ingredient usually contains a combination of red chili peppers, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, spices, and often shrimp paste or fish sauce. Check the ingredients if you are concerned about them containing seafood.

Chicken – the chicken is optional. You can leave it out or replace it with another protein if you prefer.

Ramen noodles – make sure you buy unseasoned ramen noodles for this! Fresh or dried noodles both work.

    1. Thank you! I used just the standard size, I think 3 ounces, but you can double if you like more noodles in it.

  1. 5 stars
    Made tonight. Absolutely delicious. Living on a tight budget I always have ramen on hand. This recipe jazzed it up but cheaply.

    Many thanks for the hard work Corrie, putting these recipes out here for all of us to enjoy.

  2. First time making ramen for me. I Have King Soba 3-PACK Gluten Free & Organic Brown Rice Ramen Noodles - 4 noodle cakes in each package. Do I use 4 cakes for 4 servings? Does Brown rice ramen need to cook longer than the regular type? A huge thank you for your instant pot recipes, my family and I have been loving them.

    1. Thank you!! Yes, use 1 package (4 cakes) for 4 servings. I'm not sure if the cook time would be different... I would refer to your package instructions. Or try them after 2 minutes like this recipe, and continue to cook them on the keep warm function if they still need to be softened. Hope that helps!

      1. can i use the normal instant ramen noodles without the seasoning? Or do I have to buy different noodles

  3. thank you so much for sharing part of your beautiful and inspiring life! I pray that his school and peers continue to be a great fit. Keep on doing what your doing, Momma, because it sounds like your doing it right!

    I made your Ramen Noodle recipe tonight and I just wanted to make sure I gave you a big Thank You! It was absolutely delicious!!
