Why You Will Love This 10-Minute Ramen
We eat a lot of ramen around our house and I think they are the perfect answer to an easy dinner when you don't know what to cook. These spicy noodles are one of our favorite ramen recipes to make and we customize it with toppings based on what we have in the house.
The ramen with peanut sauce will only take 5-10 minutes from start to finish so it makes for a great quick dinner or as a base for your favorite protein or veggies.
Did I mention that they are so flavorful? This peanut butter ramen is so full of flavor despite only taking 10 minutes to make. It is really a family favorite and you can't go wrong when making this.
Let me show you how easy it is to make it.
Ingredients
Ramen Noodles
- Ramen noodles are also called Chinese noodles. You can usually find this in the International section of your grocery store. If you can't find them, instant ramen will also work.
- Water: For cooking the ramen.
- Virgin Coconut oil. I like to use this type of oil since it is completely unprocessed and still has the flavor of coconut.
- Toppings: Optional. I like to add red pepper slices and chopped scallions for crunch.
Creamy Peanut Butter Sauce
- Peanut Butter: You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter depending on what you like.
- Soy Sauce: I like using a low-sodium soy sauce so I can control how much salt is in the sauce.
- Sambal Chili paste or Red Pepper Flakes (optional but this makes it nice and spicy.) If you have it in your house, Sambal chili paste is the best with this.
- Water: To thin the sauce.
This 3 ingredient peanut sauce is a great option for other recipes too like my peanut pasta salad recipe.
Additions to this recipe
My favorite two ways to eat these delicious peanut butter ramen noodles are just as they are (for a quick meal). This peanut butter ramen is also a great base for a quick meal of grilled meat.
If you do decide to use it as a base for some grilled meats, I would highly recommend trying chicken that is grilled with a little of the peanut sauce from this recipe. This is what I do often and it is delicious.
However you decide to use these coconut ramen noodles with peanut butter sauce, I am sure you will love them.
