Thai Peanut Chicken with Ramen

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.

Cheap Ramen Is Great!

But, this Thai peanut chicken with Ramen 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 Ramen-seasoned potato chips. Yep, Ramen-seasoned potato chips. They’re fantastic!

Thai Pork Burritos

These Thai pork burritos with Thai fried rice disappeared fast. They’re both very tasty. I’d say they’re excellent. The burrito is packed full of flavor. This is definitely not boring or bland.  And although the ingredient list might seem a bit lengthy, fear not. There actually aren’t that many steps to perform to achieve Asian-inspired burrito greatness!

Keep The Theme Going

For the fried rice recipe, click here. You’ll want to make it because it pairs perfectly with the Thai Pork burritos. The rice has a bit of fish sauce added. At first I wasn’t so sure about fish sauce. It’s rather ‘aromatic’ to put it mildly. But not only did it grow on me, I ended up loving it!

Serve this dish with a little soy sauce on the side. If you’re daring, maybe even a little fish sauce too!

Thai Fried Rice

I made this Thai fried rice with the Thai pork burritos I made the other day. Both came out fantastic, making for the perfect dinner. The rice is packed full of flavor. This is definitely not boring or bland.

Now I Love Fish Sauce

We’ll certainly make both this Thai fried rice and the pork burritos again soon. When I first made this I didn’t have a lot of experience with fish sauce. It’s mighty potent stuff, that’s for sure. I later made slow cooker Vietnamese ribs. They are absolutely packed with fish sauce. And despite the initial strong aroma, the ribs were truly amazing!
