Spicy Thai Noodles
January 18, 2010Spicy Thai Noodles is absolutely hands down one of my favorite dishes. It makes me drool with longing. This is really, really good. I ain’t kidding. You can serve Spicy Thai Noodles as a side dish or as a main meal. It is very versatile – any type of long noodles will do, whole wheat, spaghetti, or just plain linguine. The Spicy Thai sauce melds perfectly, coating every noodle and every bit of your mouth with goodness. You’ve gotta try this, I swear you won’t be disappointed!
First you gotta make the Spicy Thai Dressing. This noodle salad would be nothing without it.
Let’s round up our ingredients:
I’m using fettuccine.
Grab your veggies – 2 carrots, 2 red bell peppers, 6 green onions and cilantro.
Get chopping. Or in this case julienne the veggies. What does julienne mean you say?
Just a fancy word for cut into fancy thin strips.
Got it? Goood.
Here’s how: Start by cutting cutting the vegetable at a diagonal
then once again use a diagonal, cutting into smaller strips.
That’s it. Pretty simple.
Keep going on the red bell peppers
and green onions.
Look at that. Fancy cut green onions.
Place all veggies in a BIG bowl.
Coarsely chop about 1 cup cilantro and put on top of veggies. Set aside.
Boil the noodles for 12 min. Cool in cold water and drain.
Put cool drained noodles on top of the vegetables.
Then pour and
scrape, every last bit of the Spicy Thai Dressing over the noodles. Oops, some Spicy Thai sauce spilled on my fingers.
My bad.
Pause. Lick fingers.
Now the fun part. Wait a minute. I thought that was the fun part.
Toss it around.
Keep tossing,
until every last strand is coated. You know what time it is.
It’s time to plate up and eat up.
Spicy Thai Noodles
Oh yeah.
