Spicy Thai Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, Thai chiles, chile-garlic sauce, ginger, fish sauce, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over high heat. Add chicken and stir constantly until almost cooked, about 3 minutes. Pour in 1/4 cup sauce mixture to chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken with its juices to a bowl.
• Reduce heat to medium-high. Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in the same wok or pan used for chicken. Add carrots; cook and stir until just softened but still crunchy, about 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper; cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add reserved chicken with its juices, remaining sauce, green onions, bean sprouts, and cilantro. Cook and stir until just heated, about 1 minute. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile place noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside until noodles are softened, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Stir cooked noodles into vegetable mixture. Garnish with peanuts.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add rice noodles. Soak for 10 minutes. Stir a couple times to keep from sticking. After 10 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water.
• In a large non-stick pan, heat oil and thai chilis over medium to medium-high heat. (If using ground turkey, chicken, or pork, add to pan and brown with oil and chilis before adding vegetables.).
• Add vegetables, shrimp, and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add softened noodles, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar and cook until noodles are tender and warmed through (about 1-2 minutes more). Add a tablespoon (or more) of water if it looks like you need more sauce.
• Stir in basil leaves and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook noodles in boiling water until tender; drain.
• Mix ingredients for sauce in a bowl with a whisk until smooth; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat (add more oil as necessary during cooking).
• Add lemongrass and Thai chiles and cook until fragrant.
• Add carrot, scallions, and bell peppers and cook until carrot starts to become crisp-tender.
• Add bean sprouts and cook 1-2 minutes more.
• Add drained noodles to the pan and pour sauce over noodles.
• Using two utensils, lift vegetables from bottom to integrate throughout noodles and mix well.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and chopped peanuts and serve with hot chili sauce (sriracha), if desired.
• Cooking tip: you may cut noodles into smaller pieces after cooking with kitchen shears to make them easier to work with.
