Spicy Thai Noodles





Ingredients:

  • 16 oz angel hair or linguine
  • 1 Tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup sesame oil
  • 6 Tbsp honey
  • 6 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 green onions, quarter inch chop
  • 1 tsp dried cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp chopped peanuts
  • 4 baby carrots, shredded
Preparations:
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the oils and heat. Once warmed, add crush pepper. Stir and let sit for one minute. Then, add garlic and let cook for an addition minute.
  2. Strain and reserve oil. Pour the hot oil into a large mixing bowl with the green onion and cilantro. 
  3. Whisk in honey, then soy sauce. (This order keeps the oil hot so it melts the honey before adding the cold soy sauce.)
  4. Meanwhile, boil water and cook the noodles.
  5. Add noodles, peanuts, and carrot to bowl with sauce. Serve warm or cold.
