TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING SPICY THAI NOODLES

• Know what heat level you can handle! There’s a big range of red pepper listed in the recipe, because I wanted you to be able to customize this to your tastes. Be warned, using 1 – 1 1/2 Tbsp will make this reallllly spicy!
• These Thai noodles can be served hot, at room temperature or cold, so they’re totally versatile.
• Garnish! Usually garnishes are optional and sort of a take it or leave it situation… for this recipe they really elevate the flavors and make it taste even better, so try them if you can.
• Any long pasta will work here. I used linguine because that’s what I had, but spaghetti, fettuccine, angel hair, etc would work.

WHAT PROTEIN COULD I ADD

This dish is naturally vegetarian, but yes, protein can definitely be added! Here are my favorites:

• Chicken – sliced into strips
• Pork – sliced into strips
• Shrimp
• Tofu – the baked method described HERE is our favorite!
