Ingredients
- 6 ounces instant ramen see notes
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 4 cups vegetables see notes, thinly sliced
- peanut to serve, chopped peanuts
- cilantro to serve, chopped peanuts
Peanut Sauce
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ½ cup peanut butter natural
- ¼ cups dark soy sauce see notes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Thai curry paste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar preferably red curry paste
Instructions
- Put the ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packages) into a bowl and cover them with hot tap water. After 5 minutes, use a fork to gently separate the noodles.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until it is no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the veggies and let them cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they barely start to soften.
- Drain the ramen and then add it to the pan. Pour the sauce over the top and mix everything together. Let heat through for 2-3 minutes until it is thick and coats the noodles. Serve the noodles topped with some chopped peanuts and cilantro.

Notes
- Dark soy sauce gives the noodles deeper color and flavor; substitute regular soy sauce if unavailable.
- Try vegetables like green cabbage, red pepper, and carrots for a crunchy texture, or use onion, snap peas, broccoli, and bean sprouts as alternatives.
