Peanut Thai Ramen

Theres something about ramen that tends to hit every single spot for me. Doesn’t matter what mood I’m in, a really really good bowl of ramen always sounds like a good idea.

Growing up, my only idea of ramen was the Top Ramen in the little packets. As much as I loved those, they left me feeling boated, tired and quite gross after. After moving to San Francisco for culinary school, I discovered the world of REAL ramen. You know… the kind with a flavor so deep you didnt even know the magic that was in your mouth? The kind with the perfectly seasoned, perfectly runny egg? The kind that makes you wonder why the hell a company like “Top Raman” was even legal in the first place?

Ever since going gluten-free & plant-based, I have had one hell of a time finding a ramen that works for my lifestyle. After hitting almost every restaurant in San Diego, finding one that was perfect and then watching it go out of business, I figured it was time for me to make my own damn ramen.

Luckily, with the way the food industry is moving toward the good side, theres actually some really awesome brands out there for GF ramen noodles!

I wanted to make this recipe complex and super satisfying, so I made it like I would almost make a curry. A bit of tweaking and testing out on clients, and this baby was ready for the blog.

Funny enough - I have seen quite a few peanut ramen recipes pop up in the last few weeks! Talk about a collective conciseness eh?

I hope this hits all the spots for you!
