Main Ingredients
  • 4 oz Ramen noodles Foundation of the dish
  • 3 tbsp Creamy peanut butter Adds richness to the sauce
  • 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce Provides umami flavor
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar Balances saltiness with sweetness
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice Adds acidity to the dish
  • 1 tbsp Chili garlic sauce Introduces heat for a spicy kick
  • 1 tbsp Toasted sesame oil Enhances overall flavor
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil Used for cooking the eggs
  • 2 large Eggs Adds protein and richness
  • 3 stalks Scallions Provides freshness and crunch
  • 1/4 cup Crushed peanuts For garnish
  • 2 wedges Lime wedges For serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions, about 2 to 3 minutes until just tender. Drain most of the water, reserving a 1/4 cup.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, chili sauce, sesame oil, and the reserved ramen water until combined and smooth. Set aside.
  3. Place the saucepan back on the heat over medium and add vegetable oil. Once shimmering, add the eggs and scramble until cooked through.
  4. Off the heat, add the cooked ramen and the sauce to the pot with the eggs. Toss to coat.
  5. Serve immediately topped with diced green onions, crushed peanuts, and lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Don’t overcook the noodles; use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust the spice to your taste and garnish generously with crushed peanuts and scallions.
