Thai Peanut Noodles
We had a wonderful time in Chicago last week. I met the most wonderful group of bloggers. We had lots of family time together, had some great food and wonderful conversation. We also learned alot of interesting things I’ll be sharing with you in 2 large posts scheduled to come in a few weeks. There’s no place like home though, and your own cooking to make you feel good, especially after catching a little cold on the plane ride home.
I love this dish. I have been making these Thai peanut noodles for a while. I love making my own takeout dishes, and this one is full of fresh vegetables and delicious peanuts. It has a little spice from the Thai sweet chili sauce, but just a touch. My son had no problem gobbling down two helpings of these noodles, and he is very sensitive to spicy foods. If you want to play it safe, leave out the sweet chili sauce all together and add some honey in its place. I also used linguine, because it was what I had on hand, but you could also use the flat rice noodles.
