Description
Creamy peanut butter ramen noodles with tender chicken, rich coconut broth, and a spicy Thai curry kick. This comforting noodle bowl is topped with crunchy groundnuts and chilli oil for extra flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon groundnut or any neutral cooking oil
- 100 grams boneless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock or water
- 200 grams cooked udon noodles
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 1/2 cup blanched broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons roasted peeled and crushed groundnuts
- 2 tablespoons chilli oil
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot or deep pan over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and saute for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add peanut butter, red Thai curry paste, soy sauce, salt, and sugar. Stir and cook briefly until combined.
- Pour in the chicken stock or water and simmer for 5 minutes so the broth absorbs the flavors.
- Add the chicken breast and cook for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the chicken, let it cool slightly, then slice into thin strips.
- Add the cooked udon noodles to the broth and cook for 3-4 minutes. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to separate the noodles from the broth and set aside.
- Whisk coconut milk into the broth until smooth and fully combined.
- To serve, divide noodles among serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken, broccoli florets, and ladles of the broth.
- Garnish each bowl with crushed groundnuts and chilli oil. Serve hot.
Notes
- Adjust the salt depending on the saltiness of your stock and curry paste.
- You can substitute chicken with tofu or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
- Use ramen noodles instead of udon if preferred.
- Store leftover broth and noodles separately for best texture.
