cold peanut noodles!

amounts of everything are very subjective- make it as spicy or as peanut-y or filling as you want!
this takes me about 6 minutes to make, involves heat and minimal stirring, and can be made with just a kettle or microwave.
as its written here, it’s also gluten free and vegan

you need:
- one serving of noodles (rice noodles, ramen, etc)
- some peanut butter, any type
- hot water
- soy sauce
- powdered ginger
- powdered something-spicy (anything from cayenne to black pepper, to taste)
- honey, sugar, or similar
optional but recommended: green onions, bean sprouts, any veg or protein

steps:
1. cook noodles. set aside some (~1 tablespoon) of the hot water for later (or boil some more water in a kettle or pot).
2. rinse cooked noodles in cold water and set aside.
3. mix the hot water with a large spoonful (~2-3 tablespoons) of peanut butter, so that the peanut butter dissolves and becomes pour-able.
4. add powdered ginger, spice, honey, and soy sauce to the peanut butter, all to taste. i like mine very flavorful, so i use two shakes of cayenne, 3-4 shakes of ginger, 0.5 tsp honey, and approx. 0.5-1 teaspoon soy sauce (for a lighter version, begin with about half of all amounts and alter to taste)
5. chop your green onion and any veg or protein. for a single cake of ramen, a handful of toppings is enough.
6. mix your noodles, sauce, and toppings, and enjoy!
