Curry Ramen Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s perfect for those who love bold and complex flavors, as well as those who appreciate the comfort and warmth of a hearty bowl of soup.
The addition of the coconut curry broth and fresh baby bok choy takes everyday ramen to another level. It’s also a perfect comfort food on a cold or rainy day!
What are Curry Spices?
Curry spices, frequently sold as ‘curry powder’ or ‘curry spice,’ are a blend of various herbs and spices. The specific combination used can vary depending on region but these are some of the most commonly used spices in U.S. curry blends:
- Turmeric – a bright yellow spice that gives curry its signature color and a slightly bitter flavor.
- Cumin – a warm and earthy spice that adds depth and complexity to curry dishes.
- Coriander – a fragrant spice with a citrusy flavor that complements the other spices in the curry blend.
- Cardamom – a sweet and floral spice that adds a unique aroma and flavor to the curry.
- Cloves – a warm and slightly sweet spice that provides a rich and complex flavor to curry.
- Cinnamon – a sweet and spicy spice that adds warmth and depth to the curry.
- Ginger – a pungent and spicy root that adds heat and depth to the curry.
These spices, when combined in the right proportions, create a flavorful and aromatic blend that is the foundation of many delicious curry dishes.
