20 MINUTE SPICY THAI NOODLES

if you’re looking to spice up your weeknight dinner routine, you have to try these spicy Thai noodles!  This recipe uses regular, everyday ingredients and transforms them into a spicy dish you’re sure to love!

Most of the things I make are for the family, for dinner… but occasionally I make something just for my husband, for his lunches at work.  These Spicy Thai Noodles are a great example 🙂  They are waaaaay too spicy for the family, but perfect for him.  These noodles are very simple to make but pack a huge flavor punch!

Anything spicy is right up my husband’s alley, but he actually found these on Pinterest and I adapted the recipe to his tastes.  And of course, I want to share it with all of you 😀

Deliciously spicy with hints of sweetness, these noodles are an amazing addition to your dinner table.
