Something I enjoy doing is stocking my pantry full of essentials. Knowing my kitchen typically has all the Asian spices, herbs and veggies necessary for preparing a healthy meal, I tend to purchase canned foods that serve multiple purposes, like coconut milk and chicken broth.
Other Recipes You Might Like
Chicken broth is wonderful for making soups, boiling vegetables and adding flavor to rice and other grains. I also like to thicken it up with cornstarch for main courses that need a bit more sauce.
As for coconut milk, you’d be surprised at the options. Use it in desserts, instead of milk, to impart a tropical and sweet flavor. In terms of savory, curry is what comes to mind.
I’m sharing a Coconut Curry Noodle Bowl recipe to show you how both come together to create a perfect summer meal. Despite this dish being served warm, the lime juice paired with red curry paste and coconut milk keeps it light and refreshing. You can also turn this noodle bowl into green curry noodles.
I also topped the bowl with tons of fresh herbs, shredded chicken and shrimp for a filling finish.

That’s great, thank you for trying my coconut curry noodle bowl.
Monika
Do you also use the seasoning packet that comes in the ramen noodles or just the noodles when preparing the noodles?
I love your recipes!
Rasa Malaysia
No don’t use the seasonings. Thanks Monika. :)

My son is going to love this. Your recipes are always so good. For me, I would like to substitute one of the proteins with a vegetable. Which vegetable would you recommend?

I love noodle bowls, they have such a fresh taste, and would like to give this one a try. Do you think the sauce (not the noodles, herbs,etc) would freeze well? I live alone.
Jeanine Alyse
I live alone and prefer to cook in big amounts. I portion-freeze most all soups or stew-type dishes that are intended as fully cooked, including their herbs, but without any noodles/pasta that’s easily cooked in the reheat adding a bit of thickness to the dish. Or, pre-cooking noodles and packaging in/atop freezer containers to add near the end of a reheat is another way to go.
Charie
I’m interested in coconut recipes and I’ll try this one. This is new to me since, I cooked coconut curry the usual Filipina cooking. I hope my parents and boyfriend will love this recipe. Thank you
Cha ;)
Susan Burge
I live alone – if I only cook one ramen packet at a time, will the rest of it reheat well?
