Coconut Curry Noodle Soup

Curry Noodle Soup is a delicious and comforting dish that combines the creamy richness of coconut milk with the bold flavors of red curry paste. Tender noodles, such as rice vermicelli or egg noodles, are cooked in a fragrant and rich curry broth. The coconut milk adds a smooth, slightly sweet taste that balances the curry’s heat, while toppings like shrimp, fried tofu, fish cakes, and hard-boiled eggs add color and extra heartiness.

Despite this dish being served warm, the red curry paste and coconut milk keeps it light and refreshing. You can also turn this noodle bowl into green curry noodles by swapping out red curry paste for green curry paste.

This coconut curry noodle soup is easy to customize, so adjust the spice level and coconut milk to your liking. It’s perfect for a cozy and light meal, especially on days when you grave for soupy dishes.

    Amazing! Loved it and so did the hubby. Have worked in a Thai restaurant and this is as good as what I would expect to find there :)

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      That’s great, thank you for trying my coconut curry noodle bowl.

  2. Monika says:

    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!

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      No don’t use the seasonings. Thanks Monika. :)

  3. judy says:

    What else besides coconut milk not big fan of coconut

  4. Monika says:

    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?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      You can use baby bok choy.

  5. Sue Chee says:

    You have made reference to cans of chicken broth and coconut milk which are to be used. What would be the weight (in metric) of these cans please?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      411 g for the chicken broth and 400 ml for the coconut milk

  6. Denise says:

    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.

    1. Jeanine Alyse says:

      5 stars
      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.

  7. Charie says:

    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 ;)

  8. Susan Burge says:

    I live alone – if I only cook one ramen packet at a time, will the rest of it reheat well?

  9. Richard says:

    The pictures you have at the end of the recipe called “Pin it” are they supposed to show the name of the recipe too? Because on my screen it just show a picture and it would be nice to know the name before I click it on. Also is “Pin it” suposed to mean something?

    1. Dave says:
