Ingredients
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 ounces ramen noodles
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
- 3 scallions, finely chopped
Directions
Place the peanut butter, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, black vinegar, and chili oil into the bowl of a mini-food processor. Process until the mixture is well combined and forms a paste, 1 to 2 minutes. With the processor running, gradually add the chicken broth and process until the sauce is creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, cover, and set aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Place 4 quarts water into a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook until al dente, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander. Add the noodles to the bowl with the sauce and toss to combine. Serve topped with the peanuts and scallions

Just finished making (and eating 1 serving of this. It was delightful! It's an awesome way to make ramen noodles better, and I know I'll be making it again very soon!

I've never had the dish this was based on but I thought it was a pretty tasty way to spice up ramen noodles. I made half the recipe of sauce and it generously covered one pack of noodles. I added leftover chopped cucumber and bell pepper from my spring rolls, for added crunch. Next time I think I will use less peanut butter and more soy sauce to adjust for my tastes. I think this recipe makes a great quick lunch or snack, or side dish as part of an asian fusion meal.

Wait a minute....did anyone notice that the water he used to boil the noodles in, was amber colored? No where in his show or recipe does it say what he used. He said not to use the flavor packets, but what the heck? I hate it when he skips steps or ingredients in his recipes and he's done this before! I give it 2 stars, because it was an okay recipe. Frankly, most of his recipes I've used before have never truly turned out great!
