When my husband and I were first married we lived off, shall we say… my early career salary, while my husband worked on his MBA full-time. I teased him that we would survive on my “fancy ramen.” I’d like to think my culinary prowess with a pack of ramen impressed him. Ramen might be the best college food – a cheap carbohydrate. However, I think there are many great vegetables and proteins to add to the noodles that will make complete meals.
This broccoli peanut butter ramen was created by my sister and me. I added peanut butter & Sriracha to the ramen to make it similar to a Thai peanut noodle. I told my sister all about my new food craving. She tried it, loved it and improved on it by adding broccoli slaw. This is a great quick lunch….or even better late night snack. Broccoli peanut butter ramen are creamy noodles with a light crunch from veggies and a pop of spice from Sriracha.
1 package Ramen noodles
1 cup shredded broccoli slaw
2 Tablespoons peanut butter

Boil about 3 cups of water. Place noodles in pot and cook for about 2 minutes, then add broccoli slaw for the last minute. Drain almost all the water, but about 3 tablespoons. Mix in 1/2 the flavor pack and the peanut butter. Top with green onions and Sriracha.
