Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles: Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil; discard the flavor packet, add the ramen noodles, and cook until it’s al dente or according to package directions. Be sure to reserve ¼ cup of noodles water before draining the noodles.
- Make the peanut butter sauce: Whisk peanut butter, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, honey, lemon juice, salt, toasted sesame oil, and ¼ cup warm noodles water in a large bowl until smooth.
- Taste and adjust: taste the sauce and adjust the flavor to your liking.
- Mix in the noodles with the sauce: add drained ramen noodles to the sauce, along with some chopped green onions and crushed peanuts. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce.

Notes
Use warm or hot cooked noodle water in the sauce to help thin out the sauce and create a creamier texture. Taste and adjust the flavor as needed by adding more salt, soy sauce, garlic powder, lemon juice, honey, or sriracha.
