Instructions

Cook the Ramen Noodles:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain the noodles and set them aside.
Make the Peanut Butter Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Add water gradually, stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and pourable.
Combine Noodles and Sauce:
Add the cooked noodles to the bowl with the peanut butter sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add more water to reach your desired consistency.
Garnish and Serve:
Top with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

You can adjust the sauce thickness by adding more or less water, depending on your preference.

For a spicier version, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha or chili oil.

Add grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp for extra protein.
