Ingredients
  

  • Kosher salt
  • 10 ounces broccoli florets about 3 to 4 cups
  • 9 ounces instant ramen noodles
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • cup low-sodium soy sauce adjust as needed
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar adjust as needed
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha plus 1 to 2 extra tablespoons if desired
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Optional toppings: chopped scallions, cilantro, extra sriracha, chopped toasted peanuts, almonds, sesame seeds, shredded carrots

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • Chop the broccoli into small florets. Once the water is boiling, add the broccoli along with the ramen noodles and edamame. Let everything cook together for about 2 minutes, ensuring the ramen stays slightly chewy and the broccoli becomes tender. Drain the pot using a colander, rinse the ingredients under cold water to prevent further cooking, and gently shake off excess moisture.
  • In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, honey, and 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk thoroughly—it may look thick at first, but continue stirring until smooth. If needed, gradually add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a creamy, pourable consistency. Taste and adjust with extra soy sauce, vinegar, sriracha, or honey to suit your preference.
  • Transfer the drained noodles and vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared peanut sauce over them and toss well until everything is evenly coated. If you prefer a saucier dish, add more of the peanut sauce. If the noodles seem too thick or sticky, mix in a small splash of water until you reach the desired consistency. Serve in bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Store any leftover peanut sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
  • To save time, consider steaming dumplings or additional vegetables in the same pot while cooking the noodles.
  • If you’re boiling pasta for another meal, use the same water to cook extra vegetables or even hard-boil eggs for meal prep.
