This is a super easy tom yum fried ramen noodles recipe that’s full of incredible Thai-inspired flavours and very satisfying to the palate! And it only takes 30 minutes to make this delicious dish. Perfect for a lazy dinner night or when you’re just craving something flavourful!
This tom yum fried noodles is the perfect way to make use of that leftover tom yum paste that you bought to make tom yum soup. We ate so much tom yum soup at one point that we were just sick of it and the tom yum paste jar has been sitting in our fridge ever since. But we decided not to waste it and thought of other ways to make use of the paste that doesn’t include making a tom yum soup! Sustainability? I think so!
This tom yum fried noodles recipe is for all our noodle lovers out there, and for those of you who are more rice people, check out our Tom Yum Fried Rice recipe. Both AMAZING!
Seriously, we need to make tom yum everything! No wonder the tom yum soup was voted as the 8th best dish in the world by CNN. It’s so addictively flavourful and balanced, and those flavours go well even in fried rice and fried noodles!
Componentsof the dish
The protein: We used shrimp since that is what we have available at home and it often goes really well with noodle dishes and Thai flavours. But if you happen to have chicken, beef, or pork on hand, they will be just as delicious in this dish. Just make sure to marinate and cook the protein separately so you can control better the cooking level of the protein.
The noodle: We used store-bought, pre-packaged Lanzhou ramen noodles, which is pretty much just wheat noodles. You can use pretty much any kind of ramen noodles you like, just not the ones that are too thick (like udon) or too thin (chow mein).
The sauce: We used the co*ck Brand of tom yum paste. There are variations in taste from one brand to another, so if you are using another kind of tom yum paste, make sure to taste the sauce and adjust accordingly.
Sometimesthe laziest meals can be the best meals! Like this tom yum fried ramen noodles.We pretty much used ingredients that are left in the fridge and made a yummymeal with them! Cheap AND yummy? That’s a win all around if you ask me!
That’s it for our recipe today folks, we gonna go ahead and tom yum up some other dish! Happy eating!
