I had pretty low expectations when I started making this dish of Thai peanut chicken with Ramen noodles. I can’t say I’ve eaten a lot of Ramen noodles. They weren’t around when I was in college. Back then my staple was canned chili or soup when the dorm cafeteria wasn’t open.
But, this dish takes those little Ramen noodles to a new level. This dish is fantastic.You have the freshness of the coconut, cilantro and lime flavors, with the smooth creaminess of peanut butter… all backed up with a hint of Sriracha on the stir-fried chicken. I’d make this again and again.
Also try my Mexi-Thai burritos with vegetable fried rice.
