I got this idea from fellow eHow Editor Elizabeth Biscevic, who puts peanut butter in her ramen for a creamy, filling Thai-inspired soup. As a spice lover, I added some heat and a little bit of lime for brightness. You can adjust the levels of both to your taste.
Things You'll Need
- 1 package Oriental or Chili flavored ramen
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek chili paste, plus more to taste
- Half a small red bell pepper, diced
- 1-2 lime wedges
Tip
Sambal oelek is found in the Asian section of your grocery store in a small plastic jar with a green cover. If you don't have any, simply substitute this with sriracha and red pepper flakes.
Step 1
Boil noodles according to package directions.
Step 2
When the noodles are nearly done, stir in the peanut butter and seasoning packet.
Step 3
Put the soup into a bowl. Stir in a tablespoon of sambal oelek to taste, then more if you want additional heat. Squeeze the lime juice into the soup and top with the diced red bell pepper.
