Crispy Noodles Ready in Minutes!
First, you’ll need to cook the ramen noodles according to the package ingredients, then set them aside. Meanwhile, combine the peanut sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and set that aside as well. Once that is finished, heat the sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the noodles and cook for about 8 minutes or until crispy and slightly browned, tossing occasionally. You may find that leaving the noodles to sit in an even layer for a minute or two at a time helps get an even crispier texture.
Remove the noodles from the pan and toss the carrots, bell pepper, and cabbage into the pan, using the oils from the noodles to cook them. Sauté the veggies for 4 minutes or until softened, then add the noodles back in as well as the peanut sauce. Toss everything together and warm for about 1 minute, before removing the pan from the heat. Top with peanuts, green onion, and sesame seeds, serve with a lime wedge, and enjoy!

Better than takeout. We bought Peanut Sauce instead of making it. Next I’ll made the peanut sauce in the recipe. Very good overall
