Thai Peanut Butter Ramen
A quick and satisfying dish, this Thai Peanut Butter Ramen transforms instant noodles into a flavorful meal with a creamy, spicy, and sweet peanut sauce. It's an ideal weeknight dinner that comes together in minutes.
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles (discarding seasoning packets) and cook according to package directions, typically 2-3 minutes, until tender. Drain well and set aside.
- While the noodles cook, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, reduced-sodium soy sauce, honey, Sriracha (to taste), and sesame oil until smooth and well combined. If the sauce is too thick, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved ramen cooking water or hot water to reach your desired consistency.
- Add the drained ramen noodles to the bowl with the peanut sauce. Toss gently to ensure the noodles are evenly coated.
- Divide the peanut butter ramen among serving bowls.
- Garnish each serving with thinly sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, and a fresh lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy!
