Directions

1. Make the Sauce

Whisk together the peanut butter, red curry paste, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, coconut milk, and chicken stock until completely smooth.

2. Divide the Sauce

• ½ of the sauce → for the ramen

• ¼ of the sauce → for the ground turkey

3. Baked Ramen

2. Place the ramen bricks in a large baking dish. Pour half the sauce evenly over top, pressing the noodles down gently.

3. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

4. Flip the noodles, remove the foil, and bake another 10 minutes until softened, glossy, and saucy.

4. Baby Bok Choy

1. Place halved bok choy in a separate baking dish.

2. Pour ¼ of the sauce over top.

3. Bake at the same temperature for 20–25 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.

5. Ground Turkey

1. Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the 700 g ground turkey until browned.

2. Stir in the remaining ¼ of the sauce and simmer for a few minutes to coat well.

6. Eggs

Fry eggs in a pan to your liking and set aside.

7. Assemble + Serve

Dish up the saucy baked ramen, add roasted bok choy, spoon over the curry-coated turkey, and place a fried egg on top.

Finish with chili oil, sesame seeds, cilantro, and lime.
