Thai Peanut Ramen Noodles gives instant ramen a makeover with a mouthwatering peanut sauce! This easy ramen noodles recipe is ready in ten minutes!
RAMEN NOODLES:
YES, more fun homemade ramen noodles! Or, maybe we should call them semi-homemade since they are packaged noodles. But, the sauce is what it’s all about anyway. Ever since I made my Sesame Garlic Ramen Noodles, you guys have been raving and asking for more. In December we put up another fun and super tasty Garlic Parmesan Ramen Noodles Recipe. But, so far, these Thai Peanut Ramen might just be my personal favorite!
How To Make Thai Peanut Ramen Noodles:
- Start by cooking your noodles according to the package directions. DO NOT use the seasoning packet that comes with the noodles. Toss it out, you won’t need it for this recipe.
- While the noodles are cooking you will whisk together your super simple sauce. You don’t even need to warm the sauce up for this recipe.
- The sauce consists of creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, and a bit of honey. You will whisk it until it is as smooth as you can get it. If there are a few lumps of peanut butter, that’s ok. The sauce kind of melts and thins out once you put it on the hot noodles.
- Once your noodles have finished cooking, drain them well and toss with the peanut sauce. You will want to add the ramen to the sauce right away while they are hot to ensure the sauce coats the noodles. I find it easiest to toss them with tongs.
- You can serve as is, or top with sliced green onions and crushed peanuts if desired!
- NOTE: These noodles are generally best eaten the same day. I don’t recommend reheating them, however, they are good cold.
Enjoy!

This looks amazing! cant wait to try it!. One question. Can the sauce me prepared early so you can prepare at work?
Yes! You can make the sauce a couple of days in advance if you’d like 🙂
This is delicious! Only changes I made were; I used rice noodles instead of ramen, and I added about 2 teaspoons of puréed ginger to the sauce as well as also topped it with roasted sesame seeds. Very tasty and very filling!
Would sriracha be a suitable replacement for the chili garlic sauce?
You can use sriracha. The flavor will be slightly different, and I probably would start with 2 teaspoons and go from there. Maybe add some minced garlic to the recipe as well since you’d me missing that flavor by using sriracha. Hope that helps.
YESssss! The perfect meal. I am looking forward to making this at least once a week Thank you!!
What kind of chili garlic sauce do you use? Thanks!
I use the Huy Fong brand of chili garlic sauce because it’s the one that’s always readily available to me. It’s located in the Asian section of the grocery store along with the sriracha and soy sauce…etc. and has a green lid 🙂
No need for take out when this is so easy to make at home! Looks delicious!
This looks SO good! A sure hit for weeknights!
I’m a peanut sauce aficionado — this is right up my alley 🙂
I always toss out that packet, too. And, I’m totally in love w/your sauce! Thank you for all this hard work!
This looks fabulous! My whole family would dive into those noodles and clean their plates. LOVE!
