Spicy Thai Noodles


I found this recipe on Runner's World Pinterest Site.  It has quickly become a family favorite.

1 box linguine or angel hair pasta (whole wheat or regular is fine)
1-2 Tbsp crushed red pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sesame oil
6 Tbsp honey
6 Tbsp soy sauce
green onions
2 carrots, peeled and shredded
clilantro
peanuts
toasted sesame seeds

Boil noodles according to package directions.  Drain.  Chop green onions, cilantro, and peanuts.  Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil together over medium heat in a small pan.  Add crushed red pepper (I only use 1 Tbsp red pepper and I think it makes the dish plenty spicy….I usually like really spicy salsa so start with less red pepper and then add more, if desired)  Strain out pepper and reserve oil.  Whisk honey and soy sauce into oil.  Toss oil mixture with noodles.  Sprinkle with onions, carrots, cilantro, peanuts and sesame seeds.  Serve hot or cold.
