Description

This quick and easy spicy Asian noodle dish uses ramen as the base and is the perfect Asian vegan comfort food that's ready in 15 minutes.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce, or more to taste
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced diagonally

Directions

1 Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and ginger together in a small bowl. Add peanut butter, whisking until well combined, and set aside.
2 Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Discard the flavor packet and add ramen noodles to the boiling water. Cook until noodles are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain noodles, reserving some of the noodle water in case you need to thin out the sauce later.
3 Pour sauce over ramen noodles, tossing until well coated. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a small amount of the reserved noodle water until you reach your desired consistency. Your hot noodles will soak up the sauce. Garnish with peanuts and green onion, and serve.
