With the increase of innovative hacks on the internet, it's easy to "upgrade" processed foods like ramen. You can instantly amplify its flavor with a spoonful of peanut butter.

Peanut butter adds protein to the meal, creating a heartier soup that satiates you longer and thickens the broth with a silkier texture.

Prepare the ramen according to the package directions. Then, stir 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite creamy peanut butter into the hot broth with the noodles and seasoning packet.

The peanut butter melts into the broth, adding a nutty, slightly sweet addition. Replace half the water with coconut milk for richer broth to amp up the Thai flavors.
