Step

5 mins

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly and transfer them to a large bowl. (5 minutes)

03

Step

2 mins

Pour the peanut butter sauce over the cooked ramen noodles and toss gently to coat every strand. (2 minutes)

04

Step

1 mins

Add the julienned cucumber and sliced green onion to the noodle mixture. Toss to combine. (1 minute)

05

Step

1 mins

Garnish generously with chopped fresh cilantro and chopped salted peanuts before serving. (1 minute)

For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper or a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
If the peanut butter sauce is too thick, thin it out with a tablespoon or two of warm water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Feel free to add other vegetables like shredded carrots, bean sprouts, or bell peppers for added crunch and nutrition.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I always have these ingredients on hand and it's so much better than just plain ramen.
