Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 packs of ramen noodles
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup sliced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots)
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing vegetables into thin, uniform strips. Set aside chopped green onions for garnish.
- In a medium saucepan, heat vegetable broth over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer. Do not allow to fully boil.
- Whisk peanut butter into the hot broth until completely smooth and integrated, creating a creamy base for the ramen sauce.
- Add soy sauce and sesame oil to the peanut butter broth, stirring to combine and develop deeper flavor complexity.
- Add sliced vegetables to the broth and cook for 3-4 minutes until they become slightly tender but retain a crisp texture.
- In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes in boiling water. Drain and rinse briefly with cold water.
- Divide cooked noodles between two serving bowls, then carefully pour the peanut butter vegetable broth over the noodles.
- Garnish each bowl generously with chopped green onions for added freshness and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally offering additional soy sauce or chili oil on the side for personalized seasoning.
Tips
- Choose a high-quality, creamy peanut butter for the smoothest sauce texture.
- Keep your vegetable slices uniform to ensure even cooking and a professional presentation.
- Don't overcook the vegetables – they should remain slightly crisp for the best texture and nutritional value.
- For extra protein, consider adding tofu, shredded chicken, or a soft-boiled egg.
- Use low-sodium vegetable broth to control the salt level in your dish.
- Whisk the peanut butter thoroughly to prevent lumps in your sauce.
- Experiment with different vegetables based on what's in season or your personal preference.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and noodle texture.
