If I’m trying to make it a real meal whatever veg / seafood / meat I might have around. But my lazy addition is a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter (and usually some extra spice) makes it feel more nutritious creamier and kinda like satay.
Add some cilantro garlic soy and chili oil and that’s a top tier 5 minute meal, I usually whip the sauce up while microwaving the noodles in a bowl, stir fry for 2 mins and done
You should try it! Personally, I don’t find butter weird (I think it’s just people don’t think of it as an ‘Asian’ ingredient) but I was shocked by the mayo. But a couple of folks mentioned it, so I’m going to try!
And thanks for this post BTW, I’m a bachelor again for a week while my partner is away, so I’ll defintely be cracking out the ramen. And now I can pretend I’m experimenting, rather than just being lazy!

See, people think that me using butter is weird, but peanut butter sounds atrocious to me and multiple people have suggested it.
Peanut butter is a common ingredient in some Thai recipes. It just sounds weird to people who have only used peanut butter for PB&J sandwiches.
Peanut butter + sriracha + a bit of lime juice for “pad thai” works well.
