Spicy Thai Noodles

Source of Recipe

From "The Cookies and Cups Cookbook" by Shelly Jaronsky


Recipe Introduction

"Spicy Asian noodles are one of those foods I could eat every day. Add some grilled shrimp or chicken and you have a hearty meal, or eat them plain for a simple dinner or lunch. And you can eat these guys warm or cold, which I love. Grabbing a big bowl of noodles directly out of the fridge and digging in with a fork is my personal favorite. Keepin' it classy, folks! You can make these spicier if you're feeling daring, or milder if your kids are picky about spices. This is easy food at its finest."
