# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tbsp coconut oil

1 red onion, chopped
03 -
1 red bell pepper, chopped
04 -
1 large carrot, cut into thin 2"-long pieces
05 -
4 small cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1 pinch Kosher salt, to taste
07 -
1 can (400ml) coconut milk, shaken well
08 -
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or 450g raw chicken breast cut into thin slices
09 -
2 packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets removed
10 -
1 tsp turmeric
11 -
1 tsp sweet paprika
12 -
1 tbsp mild hot sauce, adjust to taste
13 -
1⅔ cup water or broth (chicken or vegetable)
# Steps:
01 -
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the carrot pieces. Cook until slightly tender, then drain and set aside.
02 -
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
03 -
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
04 -
Stir in the shredded chicken and chopped red bell pepper. Sprinkle with turmeric and paprika, mixing well to evenly coat all ingredients.
05 -
Once everything is well combined, add the blanched carrots, drizzle in the hot sauce and continue stirring.
06 -
Before the chicken is fully cooked through, pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Fill the empty coconut milk can with water or broth, swirl to capture any remaining milk, and add to the pan.
07 -
Once the chicken is cooked through, add the ramen noodles. Cook for a few minutes, being careful not to overcook them.
08 -
Ladle into bowls and enjoy immediately. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra brightness.
