Ingredients
  

For the Noodles:
  • 8 ounces ramen noodles avoid the seasoning packets
For the Sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter creamy
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 lime juiced and zested
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
For the Vegetables:
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups carrots grated
  • 2 cups red cabbage shredded
  • 1/4 cup peanuts chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Wok or large skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Grater or food processor

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, maple syrup, red chili flakes, and ground ginger. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a large wok or skillet, heat the tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the grated carrots, sliced bell peppers, and shredded red cabbage. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, just until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the cooked ramen noodles to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the Crispy Peanut Noodles to a serving platter or individual bowls. Top with chopped peanuts, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For meal prep, store the sauce separately to prevent sogginess.
  • Freeze in portions for up to 2 months, thaw overnight before reheating.
