Every once in a while when I don’t feel like cooking all that much, ramen noodles sneak onto my dinner plate. And these peanut butter ramen noodles are a fantastic ramen hack to transform plain noodles into a fun and tasty dinner! Skip the takeout, save your money, and make these peanut noodles the next time you want a quick and tasty dinner!

• Ramen Noodle Soup: I love this vegan and gluten free ramen noodle soup which is made with rice noodles and a miso based sauce. It has great flavor and is perfect for those who are trying to eat more vegan or gluten free. If you don’t have any dietary restrictions, then you can use any ramen noodles you desire.
• Peanut Butter: to give this dish a creamy peanut noodle vibe. Like my peanuts, I only use unsalted peanut butter to keep it healthy.
• Sweet Chili Sauce: gives this dish a bright flavor and sweetness, I love adding this Thai Chili Sauce over noodles or rice, it has a great flavor and is vegan and gluten free.
• Lime Juice: If you don’t have fresh limes, this bottled lime juice is actually a fantastic substitute. I always keep some in the pantry – it’s great for sauces, dips, or even for cocktails!
• Sriracha – for a little heat!  We go through this sriracha like crazy, its great on soups, curries, and noodle bowls like these curry noodles.
• Green Onion
• Spinach
• Lightly Salted Peanuts: for a yummy, nutty crunch!  I like to use only unsalted or lightly salted peanuts when I cook. Lightly salted peanuts won’t alter the taste of my recipes, which I prefer.  I will always choose a lower sodium option if available!

These peanut butter ramen noodles are what I call an Easy Weeknight Meal – which is on your table in under 30 minutes.  These quick and simple recipes are perfect for those nights when you want a healthy homecooked meal but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. I have a whole section of The Herbeevore dedicated to Easy Weeknight Meals, that are great for the whole family.

1. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, but only use half of the flavor packet (discard other half).
2. Once ramen has finished cooking, take 1/3 cup of the broth and pour it on a separate bowl. Add the peanut butter and stir until peanut butter has melted in the hot broth. Add the sriracha, chili sauce, and lime juice.
3. Remove noodles from the cooking liquid and toss them in the peanut butter sriracha mixture until well coated. Add the spinach and green onion, and toss with crushed peanuts.  Enjoy!
