Eat Your Feelings

I've probably mentioned this in blog posts recently, but I've been on a major Thai food kick for a couple months now. Once I started keeping regular Thai ingredients on hand it started getting easier to whip something up spur of the moment, or to just buy the more substantial aspects of a recipe when needed (fresh pork, chilies, you know).

If you like Thai food but don't really know where to start... here's a great recipe. It's simple: spicy Thai noodles.

What do you need?

Linguine pasta
Honey
Chili Paste
Soy Sauce
Sesame oil
Scallions, carrots, peanuts, cilantro, hot sauce

So simple, right? I add pork to this recipe. But here's what you do:

1. 1. Boil pasta while doing the steps below
   2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 1/2 C sesame oil with 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes
   3. When oil is hot, strain pepper flakes and reserve the oil in a bowl. Add the oil back into the skillet, then add 1 1/2 teaspoons of chili paste.
   4. Whisk together with 6 tablespoons of soy sauce and 6 tablespoons of honey
   5. Toss pasta in the skillet with the sauce

BOOM! Top with chopped scallions, carrots, cilantro... serve hot or cold.

I think I'm going to go eat my feelings now.
