This Pad Thai Ramen Noodles dish is a perfect go-to meal during emergencies or hurricanes when you’re relying on shelf-stable ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

3 packages Ramen Noodles (discard the spice packets)

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (sriacha or sriracha packets, adjust to taste)

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Optional garnishes: Crushed peanuts, additional lime juice, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles:

If you have an electric stove, consider purchasing a camping stove or a butane stove to prepare meals like this during power outages. These portable stoves are affordable, easy to use, and invaluable for cooking non-perishable food for hurricane season or any emergency situation where power may be unavailable.

In emergency situations where washing dishes isn’t practical, stock up on paper plates, paper bowls, and plastic silverware. These disposable options make clean-up quick and easy, allowing you to enjoy meals like this with minimal hassle.
