New Year, Clean Slate.
At the beginning of each new year, we’re all trying to make a fresh start. So, with that in mind, this year we are partnering with Kroger stores to bring you a few vegan recipes to celebrate their new line of completely plant-based Simple Truth products. We hope this vegan curry ramen recipe inspires you to embrace the occasional plant-based recipe!
Coconut Curry Zoodles: Plant-Based Comfort Food at its Finest.
Plant-based ingredients come in many forms and it is a true joy of ours to work with these ingredients to create magic in our kitchens. If you don’t already make vegan food in your home on a regular basis, let us introduce you to a few of our favorite vegan ingredients. All of the ingredients for this dish were found at our local Kroger store. We love how easy Kroger makes it to find plant-based products that fit into our meal plan so easily, and are in line with our healthy-eating goals for 2020! We always stock up on:
- Simple Truth Canned Coconut Milk. You guys already know how much we love coconut milk. Creamy and ultra-rich, coconut milk that turns everything it touches into silky, buttery, rich goodness.
- Simple Truth Yellow Curry Powder. A blend of spices that provide a backdrop of warmth and robust flavor to whatever dish you use it in, and a key ingredient in this vegan curry ramen. It’s perfect for stews, soups, salads etc. Vegan and delicious.
- Kroger Sesame Oil. Toasted or not, sesame oil is one of our go-to plant based ingredient go-tos. Nutty and rich, it adds flavorful depth to so many of our favorite marinades, stir-fries and dipping sauces.
- Simple Truth Vegetable Stock. Veggie stock is always in our pantries! Our best party trick to making a lot of our favorite dishes vegan is swapping out the protein for a plant based option and switching chicken or beef stock with veggie instead.
Easy, Quick and Vegan, This Zoodle Ramen has it All.
This coconut curry ramen is sure to become your new go-to weeknight dinner. Thanks to a few easy shortcuts, it comes together fast. This vegan coconut curry zoodle soup recipe relies on:
- Packaged zoodles. While we don’t always take this shortcut because of the packaging it requires, in a pinch we grab pre-spiralized packages of zucchini noodles to make this recipe even faster! Our local Kroger store carries them year-round!
- Ginger and garlic from a tube. Another trick for making this recipe a true 15 minute dinner is to lean on your new bffs, meet minced garlic and ginger in a tube! It’s usually found in the produce aisle.
- Just ONE pot. Did we mention that this whole curry zoodle soup comes together in just one pot? Easy to make, and as minimal clean-up as minimal can be.
How To Make Coconut Curry Zoodle Ramen.
Alright party people, let’s get down to business. Ready to make a truly lush, gorgeous coconut curry soup with zucchini ramen noodles? Here’s how to make plant-based dinner magic:
