Vegan Asian Noodle Soup

2 packages Oriental Ramen noodle soup
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
2 tablespoons of siracha hot chili sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Crush the ramen and place it in a large bowl. Cover with water and stir in the seasoning packets (if you want to lower the salt you can just use one of the two season packets, i always use half when making ramen to cut the salt and then add some spices to make up the flavor difference) add the chopped green onions.  Microwave for 4 1/2 minutes, remove from the microwave, and add the peanut butter, chili sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Mix together well.  Top with whole or crushed peanuts if desired (I love the topping of peanuts!)

Tip: if you don't want to buy peanuts to put whole or crushed on top you can use chunky peanut butter to give it that desired crunchy texture.
