Fleur De-Lectable: Thai Pumpkin Coconut Curry Ramen

I'm really excited to be competing in this year's "JSL Foods Fortune Noodle Blogger Recipe Challenge"! I have worked with JSL Foods in the past and have always been impressed with their products. This time, they sent me a generous assortment of their gluten free products to work with! These Fortune Gluten Free noodles are NEW to market, shelf stable and can be found in the Asian Dry Grocery Section of your grocery store! First up is my entry for the Soup category and with Fall temperatures around the corner (it's still a million degrees here in Texas) this will be the perfect quick and easy gluten free meal to warm you up!

Thai Pumpkin Coconut Curry Ramen

1 (4.96 oz package) Fortune Gluten Free Miso Pork Flavored Ramen

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

2/3 cup sliced crimini mushrooms

1 cup chicken broth

1/3 cup light coconut milk

2 Tablespoons Thai red curry paste

½ cup canned pumpkin

2/3 cup shredded cooked chicken

1 Tablespoon sliced jalapenos

1 ½ Tablespoon chopped Thai basil

In a large sauce pot over high heat, bring 5 cups of water up to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse them in cool water. Set the noodles aside to cool.

In the same large sauce pot, place the oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender. Whisk in the broth, coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, pumpkin and the seasoning packet from the Fortune GlutenFree Miso Pork Flavored Ramen until smooth. Gently stir in the noodles and chicken and allow the mixture to heat through, about 2 minutes.

Pour the mixture into bowls, top each with sliced jalapenos and Thai basil and serve immediately.

Serves 2.
