Dancing Noodle ♥

Spicy Thai Noodles


So I found this recipe on Pinterest, started making it and decided to tweak it a little to make it my own.


1 chicken breast
1-2 tbs crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
6 tbs honey
6 tbs lite soy sauce
1 box of whole wheat linguine
1/3 cup green onions- sliced
1-2 carrots- shredded
2 tbs sesame seeds
2 tbs slivered almonds (toasted)
1-2 tsp saracha


1. Cut the chicken breast into thin pieces and cook through in a small frying pan. Feel free to add any seasoning you want. I would probably just use salt, pepper, and olive oil, or I bet you can use some Chinese 5 spice or any other Asian/Thai seasonings your heart desires.


Now for the NooDles~


2. Start by boiling enough water in a pot for the linguine. 
3. Combine red pepper flakes, vegetable oil, and sesame oil in a small sauce pan on medium heat. Once the mixture comes up to temperature leave it there for 2 minutes. 
4. After 2 min., reserve the oil in a bowl and strain out red pepper flakes. 
5. When the water has come to a boil, salt the water by adding approx. 2 tbs of Kosher salt (this is how you flavor the actual noodle). Cook the linguine to package directions, straining it when the noodle still has a little bite to it (this is supposed to be when it is the most healthy because it doesn't reabsorb the starches or something like that). 
6. While the noodles cook, add the honey and lite soy sauce to the reserved pepper oil. Try to mix this as best as you can but don't worry it will still separate regardless. 
7. After the noodles are cooked and drained, add the sauce you just mixed up. 
8. Then put the final touches on the dish by adding the green onions, shredded carrots, sesame seeds, saracha, and slivered almonds. 
9. Place in the serving bowls and top with chicken and garnish with a little more green onion and sesame seeds.
10. Enjoy your very own home made Thai food. This can also be served cold.
