RAMEN NOODLES:

YES, more fun homemade ramen noodles! Or, maybe we should call them semi-homemade since they are packaged noodles. But, the sauce is what it’s all about anyway. Ever since I made my Sesame Garlic Ramen Noodles, you guys have been raving and asking for more. In December we put up another fun and super tasty Garlic Parmesan Ramen Noodles Recipe. But, so far, these Thai Peanut Ramen might just be my personal favorite!

How To Make Thai Peanut Ramen Noodles:

  • Start by cooking your noodles according to the package directions. DO NOT use the seasoning packet that comes with the noodles. Toss it out, you won’t need it for this recipe.
  • While the noodles are cooking you will whisk together your super simple sauce. You don’t even need to warm the sauce up for this recipe.

  • The sauce consists of creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, and a bit of honey. You will whisk it until it is as smooth as you can get it. If there are a few lumps of peanut butter, that’s ok. The sauce kind of melts and thins out once you put it on the hot noodles.

  • Once your noodles have finished cooking, drain them well and toss with the peanut sauce. You will want to add the ramen to the sauce right away while they are hot to ensure the sauce coats the noodles. I find it easiest to toss them with tongs.
  • You can serve as is, or top with sliced green onions and crushed peanuts if desired!
  • NOTE: These noodles are generally best eaten the same day. I don’t recommend reheating them, however, they are good cold.

    I absolutely love this!!!! I added all three of the seasoning packets (I don’t understand leaving them out since they are sooo flavorful), replaced 3 tbsps of soy sauce with 3 tbsps of the boiling noodle water, and use hot sauce instead of chili sauce. Love it!

    A hot, hot pan is key. I found stirring worked better in my not-cast iron pan. It’s hard not to get fried cornstarch wads mixed with the tofu.

    I love it, I am only using it on one package of noodles so it on the peanuty side but still very good. I struggled a little with not being able to mix the sauce, but I think I was using too small a bowl. I will had veggies and such next time

    I made this recipe tonight and I loved it. It was really simple and had lots of flavor. The amount of Chili Sauce was just right for my heat preference. I will definitely be making this recipe on a regular basis.It’s perfect as the recipe is but you could definitely add meat or vegetables if you wanted. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Take a little noodle water and wisk in (start) with a half table sp. of PB ,table spoon of buffalo sauce, half cup crushed cheese-it, through noodle back in and toss it in add more or less of any ingredients mix till thick and sprinkle the chili packet on top and toss one time . Leave a little chili seasoning on top. Let set for 3 min so cheese it’s mix well and soften. THIS GOT ME THROUGH 90 days in hell! Enjoy.
