Ingredients
- 1/2 packet Linguini pasta I like linguine for this dish, you may use spaghetti or egg noodles

- 2 tsp soy sauce I use the gluten free soy sauce
- 2 tsp Sambal olek Red chili paste available in most grocery stores in the Chinese section of the ethnic aisle
- 2 tsp Sriracha
- 1 handful peanuts or moong bean sprouts
- 1 bunch green onions/scallions
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 cloves garlic

Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain the water, drizzle a few drops of oil to keep the noodles from sticking together
- Chop the vegetables into julienne strips
- Mince the garlic cloves; slice the scallions into small circles
- Heat oil in a wok; if you don't have a wok, use a kadai/vaanali
- Add the garlic, fry quickly and don't let it burn
- Drop all the vegetables in the hot oil, add the salt and saute on high heat for roughly 3-4 minutes. The trick is to keep moving the vegetables, and toss them around so they remain crisp, and cook just enough to be tender
- Add all the condiments - soy sauce, sriracha and the chili paste and let the vegetables cook for a minute or so before adding the noodles
- Turn the heat off, and add the scallions and the sprouts/peanuts
Recipe Notes
This dish should be cooked on high heat, quickly. A wok works best, especially if it's non-stick.
Serving Suggestions:
Optional: add cilantro and serve with wedges of lime/lemon
My kids love this dish with, don't laugh, a tall glass of ice cold milk. They love the heat, but need the milk to cool off.
Variation with spicy peanut sauce:
Make a spicy peanut sauce with :
- creamy or crunch peanut butter - 1/2 cup (I love it, go with your instinct)
- vegan soy sauce - 2 tbsp
- Sriracha or sambal olek
- Brown sugar/honey - 2 tbsp - This was too sweet for my liking, so may reduce it
- Warm water - as needed, a couple of tablespoons to blend everything together
- Whisk everything together, and add to the noodles when done cooking
- Spicy peanut sauce 1
- Spicy peanut sauce 2
