Ingredients
  

Sauce
  • 3 cups broth divided
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced or pressed
  • 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
Ramen Bake
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 2-3 green onions chopped
  • 2 cups frozen shelled edamame
  • 4 packs ramen noodle bricks only (discard the seasoning packets)

  • Sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Instructions for Peanut Ramen Noodle Bake with Edamame
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  3. In a jar, combine 1/2 cup of the broth with the soy sauce, peanut butter, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and cornstarch. Shake well to mix.
  4. Pour the sauce and the remaining 2 1/2 cups broth into a 9x13 baking dish and whisk until smooth.
  5. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, green onions, and edamame, distributing them evenly. Nestle in the ramen noodle bricks and cover the dish tightly with foil.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the noodle bricks and bake another 10 minutes.
  7. Uncover, mix the noodles into the sauce and veggies, and bake for a final 10 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Let rest 5 minutes, then serve with a drizzle of sesame oil or chili crisp, extra green onions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Shake the sauce well so the peanut butter and cornstarch fully emulsify before whisking it into the broth.
  • Flipping the noodle bricks halfway helps them cook and soak up the sauce evenly.
  • The noodles absorb liquid as they rest, so don't worry if it looks a little saucy coming out of the oven.
  • A drizzle of chili crisp at the end adds a lovely warmth for the grown-ups.

Storage Tips

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat: Warm in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the noodles.
  • Freezer: Noodle dishes can soften when frozen, so this one is best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated.
