Notes
- Rice Noodles: Their chewy texture is perfect for soaking up the sauce, but soba or lo mein noodles can be used as substitutes. Be sure to salt the water, the instructions on the back of my noodles call to just soak them in boiling water (vs boiling them) for about 25 minutes, so be sure to not overcook them!
- Prep Ingredients First: This recipe comes together quickly, so have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking.
- Adjust Spice Level: Feel free to reduce or increase the sriracha to suit your heat preference.
