Ramen Soup With Thai Peanut Sauce

4 Tbsp canola oil
1 cup roasted peanuts, unsalted

Make a puree in the food processor out of the cilantro, canola oil, and roasted peanuts.  Process until smooth, adding more oil if necessary to reach a consistency that is between spooning and pouring.
Taste and add salt if desired.

Add the puree to the pot with the cooked Ramen and stir to combine.
Spoon Ramen into bowls, then lay onions on top of each serving.
