- bok choy
- bell peppers

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 4-5 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn it!
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of Thai red curry paste to the pot. Stir well, allowing the paste to bloom in the oil, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and 1 can (400ml) of coconut milk. Stir until everything is well combined, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Place your chicken thighs into the simmering broth. Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred it using two forks, then return it to the broth.
- Cook your ramen noodles according to the package instructions in a separate pot. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- To the broth, add sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, and bok choy. Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the broth, stirring to combine everything well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Ladle the ramen into bowls, ensuring everyone gets a good mix of chicken, noodles, and veggies. Top with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced green onions.
