This recipe is what I make at home when I like to enjoy spicy noodles. It is simple, vegan, and does not require a ton of ingredients. In essence, just ramen noodles are tossed in a spicy, savory sauce but dont worry, it is not fiery hot. However, you can customize the heat factor to your own tastes. You can also use any vegetables and proteins you prefer.

Here are a few important notes about the ingredients. For measurements see the recipe card below.

You can serve these spicy ramen noodles with stir-fries, soups, salads, or any grilled/baked protein (like chicken, shrimp, or tofu). I love serving this with my Asian broccoli stir fry and a glass of peanut butter milkshake.

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil (divided)
• 1 pound lean ground pork or ground chicken
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1-2 tablespoons sriracha hot chili sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• chopped green onions

Instruction:

1. Cook ramen in boiling water for 2 minutes (no longer)! Reserve one cup pasta water. Rinse with cool water and toss with a drizzle of sesame oil to prevent the noodles from sticking. Set aside.
2. Heat a large wok or skillet over medium high heat. Add peanuts and dry roast peanuts until golden and toasted in a few places, tossing occasionally, approximately 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
3. Mix Sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.
4. To the now empty skillet, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium high heat. Add ground pork/chicken, onions, salt and pepper and cook until browned. When meat is almost cooked through, add carrots, bell peppers, garlic and ginger and cook 2 additional minutes.
5. Stir in sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 seconds then add noodles and toss until evenly coated. Add cabbage and peanuts and toss to combine. Heat just until noodles are al dente and cabbage has softened, about one minute. Add additional reserved water if needed to reach desired consistency.
6. Taste and season with additional sriracha, salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with green onions.
