Easy Thai Cashew Chicken Ramen (Gluten-Free)

A flavourful creamy Thai-Style Cashew Chicken Ramen is a hot, hearty meal cooked under 30 minutes. This gluten-free soup recipe is based on Japanese noodle dish called ramen with added Thai flavours. The entire meal is made in one pot using healthy ingredients.

Loaded with fresh veggies briefly cooked in a creamy lightly spiced broth with chicken and gluten-free ramen noodles. To finish this Thai dish, top with cilantro, basil, sliced green onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds, chopped cashews, and fresh lime juice. You can use any of these toppings or just the ones you like or have on hand.

For extra creaminess, I used cashew butter. Traditionally Thai recipes are made with peanuts, but the cashews made the broth extra rich and super flavourful.

simple steps to the best chicken ramen…

First, you need a large pot. Add the broth, cashew butter, chicken some of the veggies and seasoning. Simmer until the chicken is tender, then add remaining ingredients, bring to boil and set aside for five minutes. The noodles and the additional veggies will soften to perfection.

Next, ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favourite toppings. I especially love the sesame oil and cilantro, they bring the entire dish to life.

to summarize…

The entire dish is made with the most flavourful creamy broth, packed with fresh nutrient-rich veggies, coconut milk, gluten-free ramen and lean chicken. If you can’t find gluten-free ramen noodles, you can use Vietnamese rice stick noodles or saifun noodles, also known as glass noodles. Both are naturally gluten-free.

Follow with your favourite toppings, the more, the better. With this Thai cashew chicken ramen, all you need is a good book and a cozy blanket. My favourite way to spend a gloomy cold evening –> enjoy!
