Sometimes the simplest things tin live on the most satisfying. This calendar week I've been taken amongst clementine oranges, those tiny cuties amongst a tart edge. Just tegument too eat. Repeat.
Then at that topographic point are these spicy noodles which I intend are almost equally easy. Almost. The best thing near them is that you lot in all likelihood cause got all the ingredients available inward your pantry too vegetable crisper. If not, improvise! I used thinly sliced ruby-red pepper for colouring fabric too crunch, but a packet or ii of infant bok choy or julienned carrots are only equally nice.
Got gluten issues? Sub inward only about 100% buckwheat soba noodles instead of whole wheat pasta. Or purpose your favourite gluten-free spaghetti. And don't forget to merchandise out the soy sauce for only about Bragg's (or gluten-free soy sauce) & skip the hosin altogether! Want to brand this dish a vegan affair, only sub inward vegan spread for the butter too agave for the honey. Totally easy.
This dish packs quite a punch. I similar it spicy too and then I've used both fresh jalapeno too my favorite asian condiment, sriracha here. But it's non over the tiptop too there's only about sweetness to tame that oestrus out. But withal you lot brand these noodles, I know you'll brand them 1 time again too again. Addictively delicious.
