Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)

I love how versatile this recipe is! Let’s dive into the ingredients you’ll need to make this tasty ramen dish.

• 2 packages of ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packets)
• 1 chicken breast, sliced
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce

For toppings, I suggest green onions and crushed peanuts. They add a nice crunch and freshness to the dish.

Now, let’s talk substitutes. If you’re gluten-free, swap the ramen noodles for rice noodles. Got a nut allergy? Almond butter works great instead of peanut butter. Vegetarians can replace the chicken breast with tofu or add extra vegetable options like carrots or broccoli.

My favorite twist is using shrimp instead of chicken. It gives the dish a whole new flavor profile!

Remember, cooking is all about experimenting. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste buds. The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility!

Instructions

Let’s make a quick and tasty ramen dish. First, I boil water for the noodles. While it heats up, I mix the sauce.

In a bowl, I mix peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce. This makes a rich, flavorful sauce for the noodles.

Next, I put the noodles in boiling water and cook them as the package says. While they cook, I cook chicken in a pan until it’s golden and done.

Then, I put the noodles back in the pot. I add the peanut sauce and chicken. I mix it all with tongs until the noodles and chicken are coated well.

Finally, I put the ramen in bowls. I add green onions and peanuts on top. These add a nice crunch and freshness. And that’s how you make a delicious ramen meal in 10 minutes!

“The key to this dish is balancing the flavors in the sauce and not overcooking the noodles. It’s simple yet so satisfying!”

Tips, Tricks & Storing

I’ve got some great meal prep tips for you! Keep your ramen noodles fresh and tasty by storing them apart from the sauce. This stops the noodles from getting soggy when you eat them. Put everything in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to three days for leftover storage.

When you want to eat your leftovers, add a bit of water or broth to the sauce. This makes it nice and loose again. If the sauce is too thick or too thin, you can fix it easily. Just add more water if it’s thick, or simmer it to make it thinner.

For the best flavor, eat your ramen right after making it. The noodles soak up the sauce over time, changing the texture. But with these tips, you can enjoy your tasty ramen noodles with chicken and peanut sauce anytime!
