Description
A deliciously creamy ramen dish infused with peanut butter and fresh flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 oz ramen noodles, instant
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1½ cups water
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wide pan or shallow pot over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften, release their moisture, and begin to turn lightly golden.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté briefly, just until fragrant, making sure it does not brown.
- Pour in the water and coconut milk, then add the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, chili flakes, and salt.
- Stir well until the peanut butter fully dissolves and the broth becomes smooth and creamy.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute or two while stirring occasionally.
- Add the ramen noodles directly to the pan and gently submerge them in the broth.
- Cook just until the noodles are tender and heated through, taking care not to overcook.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice to brighten the flavors.
- Divide the ramen between bowls and finish with chopped green onions before serving.
