Peanut Beef Noodle Bowl

I’ve been craving Asian food this pregnancy, big time.  Instead of getting takeout from Pei Wei or P.F. Chang’s every time the craving arises, I’ve been trying to satisfy my cravings at home.  This is a new favorite recipe that I’ve already made several times.  (My other current favorite is Beef with Peppers.)  Yes, the recipe includes Ramen..which seems very college-y to me.  I don’t eat (or purchase) Ramen very often, but they work well in this dish.  You could easily substitute another type of noodles (rice noodles, perhaps?).  Chicken or pork would also work well in this dish.
