10-min Chili Peanut Noodles

A viral 10-minute chili peanut ramen noodles recipe that is delicious, highly customizable, and very easy to prepare. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish offers a savory, mildly spicy peanut sauce coating tender noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ramen block
  • 1.5 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped spring onions
  • 1/2 tbsp gochugaru (or chili flakes)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp noodle water
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • salt (if needed)
  • Toppings: Toasted sesame seeds, chili oil, extra spring onions

Instructions

  1. Boil ramen block, drain and rinse in cold water to prevent sticking while preparing the sauce.
  2. Add chopped spring onions and gochugaru to a bowl.
  3. Heat sesame oil on medium flame for about 2-3 minutes until hot but not burned. Pour hot oil into the bowl with spring onions and chili flakes, letting it sizzle.
  4. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, a splash of hot noodle water, and garlic powder if using. Mix well to form the sauce.
  5. Add the sauce to the noodles, stir to coat evenly, and heat up if necessary.
  6. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, additional chili oil, and spring onions if desired, then serve.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use brown rice ramen and tamari instead of soy sauce. Adjust the amount of gochugaru or chili flakes to suit your spice tolerance. The dish is quick to prepare and versatile for different dietary preferences.
