Spicy Thai Noodles


You know what really burst my bubble?

When I’ve made something really tasty for dinner and then I have no leftovers for work the next today.

But, when I don’t have any leftovers, I know that my dish was a great success.

It’s a double edges sword really.

When I was sampling this sauce as I put it together, I got myself all worked up at the idea of having delicious leftovers the next day.

But my dreams came to a crashing halt when Albert scraped the last noodles out of the bowl.

Learn from my mistake and make extra.

You will need…

1 box whole wheat linguini


1 ½ tablespoons crushed red pepper


½ cup peanut oil


¼ cup sesame oil
6 tablespoons honey


6 tablespoon soy sauce


1 tablespoon peanut butter


6 green onions, chopped


½ cup chopped cilantro
1 red bell pepper, chopped


¼ cup peanuts, chopped


2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Start by combining the peanut oil and sesame oil and heating it the oil and the red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium low heat.


Heat the oil and let it infuse for about 15 minutes.

Strain the red pepper flakes out of the oil.


Bring a large pot of water to boil. When the water boils, cook the pasta to the package instructions.

While the pasta is boiling, combine the oil, the honey, the soy sauce and peanut oil and whisk until the sauce is completely combined and set aside.


When the pasta is cooked, drain the liquid and add it back into the pot.


Pour the sauce over the noodles and let them soak up for five to 10 minutes.


Mix in the cilantro, green onions, peanuts and pepper.


Toss well and serve hot.
