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!
