Ingredients

  • 85 g (3 oz) pack instant ramen noodles (flavour sachet discarded)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 pinch white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp chilli flakes (red pepper flakes)
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 chicken or vegetable stock cube, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
  • 240 ml (1 cup) hot water (from a just-boiled kettle)
  • 3 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
  • Extra chilli flakes, for garnish
  • Mixed black and white sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the instant ramen noodles in a microwavable bowl.
  2. Add the sesame oil, white pepper, chilli flakes, minced garlic, crumbled stock cube, and peanut butter on top of the noodles.
  3. Pour the hot water over the noodles and seasonings.
  4. Turn the noodle cake over 3 times to fully wet the noodles and distribute the flavors.
  5. Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds.
  6. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, add most of the sliced spring onions, and stir or toss the noodles.
  7. Microwave on high for a further 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
  8. Carefully remove from the microwave, stir well, and garnish with the remaining spring onions, extra chilli flakes, and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Use vegetable stock to keep the dish vegetarian.
  • Adjust the chilli flakes to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Add a splash of soy sauce or lime juice for extra flavor.
  • Best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
