Equipment

  • 1 Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 ramen block
  • 1.5 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped spring onions
  • 1/2 tbsp gochugaru (or chili flakes)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp noodle water
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • salt (if needed)

Toppings

  • Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • Chili Oil
  • Spring Onions

Instructions

  • Boil ramen brick, drain and rinse it in cold water to ensure the noodles don't stick to one another while you're preparing the sauce.
  • Add spring onions and gochugaru to a bowl.
  • Heat sesame oil until hot (make sure it doesn't burn!). You can heat the oil on medium flame for about 2-3 minutes. Add it to mixture and let it sizzle.
  • Add peanut butter, soy sauce, add a splash of hot noodle water and give it a good mix.
  • Add the sauce to the noodles, stir it and heat up if necessary.
  • Add toasted sesame seeds to garnish and voila!

Notes

  1. For a gluten free option, swap out regular wheat-based ramen for brown rice ramen and use a gluten free alternative to soy sauce, such as tamari. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten free.
  2. This version is not spicy. Adjust the gochugaru or chili flakes accordingly based on your spice tolerance level.
