Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 individual package of ramen Individual package of ramen noodles omit the seasoning and soup packets
  • 1 85g can flaked tuna regular or spicy peanut flavor
  • 2 mini cucumbers cut in half and sliced
  • 3 tbsp peanut sauce homemade or store bought
  • 1 tbsp chopped peanuts
  • 3 sprigs cilantro
  • 1 wedge lime

Instructions

  • cook the ramen noodles according to the package directions but omit the soup base and seasoning packets. Drain the noodles when done, and I like to rinse them in cold water if I'm going to eat them right away
  • while the ramen is cooking chop your cucumbers, peanuts and cilantro and set aside
  • when the ramen noodles are cooked and drained, add in the chopped cucumber, flaked tuna and peanut sauce and stir until everything is coated evenly with peanut sauce
  • if you want to eat this cold, cover the noodle mixture and put it in the fridge until you're ready to eat it. Then add the chopped peanuts, cilantro and a few squeezes of lime from your lime wedge. Adding the peanuts before refrigerating will make them go a bit soggy.
  • if you're going to eat this immediately, add the chopped peanuts, cilantro and a few squeezes of lime from your lime wedge right away and enjoy! If it's not saucy enough for you, add more sauce and give it another stir!
