400 gms instant noodles/ ramen – divide in 2 parts (you can also choose typical noodle/spaghetti but the fried ramen taste best).2 tsp grated ginger (preferable to use galangal but i used ginger itself).This will yield about 1 cup of paste which can be used for making the red thai curry twice. roasted peanuts – roughly chopped for garnishing.5-6 fresh basil leaves – finely chopped.1/3 cup peppers – cut lengthwise into thick sticks.1 potato – cut lengthwise into thick sticks.1/3 cup baby corn – cut lengthwise into thick sticks.1/3 cup carrots – cut lengthwise into thick sticks.
