Instant ramen – to avoid unwanted ingredients, look for freshly made ramen noodles or organic ramen noodles. Soba noodles and spaghetti also make great alternatives. Toasted sesame oil – for its nutty, earthy Asian flavor. Ground chicken – we like the flavor and texture of ground chicken, but you can also use ground pork, turkey, and even beef if you prefer. Garlic and ginger – for that classic Thai flavor base. Vegetables – you can use a mix of any thinly sliced vegetables you love, like bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, cabbage, green onions, or edamame. Peanuts and cilantro – to serve, for a bit of crunch and fresh flavor.
Here’s what you need for the tasty Thai peanut sauce:
Chicken stock – chicken stock or vegetable stock helps to thin out the sauce. For a creamier sauce, try using coconut milk. Natural peanut butter – natural peanut butter doesn’t contain emulsifiers so it has a runnier consistency, making it perfect for this sauce. Dark soy sauce – dark soy sauce gives a lot of color to the noodles. If you don’t have any on hand, you can use regular soy sauce. Rice vinegar – for a bit of acidity and brightness. Honey – we use a touch of honey for sweetness, but you can also use maple syrup or date paste. Thai curry paste – ideally use red Thai curry paste, but any will work. If you’re up for it, make your own with our easy Thai red curry paste recipe!
