Spicy Asian Ramen Noodles

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce , or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and ginger together in a small bowl. Add peanut butter, whisking until well combined, and set aside.

2. 2

   Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Discard the flavor packet and add ramen noodles to the boiling water. Cook until noodles are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain noodles, reserving some of the noodle water in case you need to thin out the sauce later.

3. 3

   Pour sauce over ramen noodles, tossing until well coated. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a small amount of the reserved noodle water until you reach your desired consistency. Your hot noodles will soak up the sauce. Garnish with peanuts and green onion, and serve.
