Spicy Thai Noodles

I have a confession to make. I am a Pinterest addict. I love looking on it for anything and everything you can think of. The other day, I came across a recipe for Spicy Thai Noodles and decided I wanted to try it. The recipe originally comes from here. I made a few changes to it, and was really pleased with how it turned out.

Here's the recipe:
1-2 TBPS Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (depending on how hot you want it)
1/4 C Vegetable Oil
1/2 C Sesame Oil
6 TBPS Honey
6 TBSP Soy Sauce
1 package of linguine or angel hair
1/2 C green onions
2 Carrots, peeled and shredded
1/2 C Cilantro
3/4 C peanuts


Heat the oils and red pepper flakes over medium heat for 2 minutes. Strain the oil from the pepper and keep the oil. Whisk the honey and soy sauce into the oil. When the noodles are finished cooking, add them to the sauce. Top with green onions, carrots, cilantro, and peanuts. 

The original recipe says to serve it cold, but I prefer noodles to be hot so I served it warm. I also added shredded chicken and used rice noodles to make it a little more "authentic". I think it would be great no matter how you choose to eat it. It was delicious. Perfect amount of sweetness and heat!
