This is my version of a pineapple and curry fried rice dish served at my favorite Thai restaurant. You might think that the flavors of curry and pineapple wouldn't go together, but they do.

Chicken in Lemongrass Coconut Broth
I made this soup after trying it at a Thai noodle house in my area. I just kept playing around with ingredients until I got something similar. I have the seasonings adjusted to my liking, however there is an adjustment guide in the footnotes if you would like a slightly different flavor. This soup is also good with rice or pasta, but ramen seems to be the favorite. You can use any flavor of ramen noodles.
