I think that all food bloggers, if not anyone who cooks has their "stack" of recipes they want to try. It just grows and grows, you can never get through them all. This recipe was in that stack. I printed it almost 2 years ago. It has been on the menu more than once, but then we got busy or just felt like something different, so it never got made. Finally I put my foot down. We were having it no matter what. Really wish I wouldn't have waited so long - it was great! It will get made again for sure! It came together really fast, and was super easy! It may look like a long list of ingredients, but it really is quick and easy!

Erin, this is something which is right down my alley! I love Asian food and this one looks extremely tempting!
ReplyDeleteI never been taught about how to cook Asian food. When I started learning, your recipe here is just like the way I would fuse Asian flavour. It does work! People will love it.
ReplyDeleteYet I am now on my journey to redefine my roots by staying strict with Asian ;)
When I fail, I would return to what my ex said to me,"Don't worry, everything is good with peanuts!"
How not to adore this noodles, being Malaysian its my kind of food. On lazy days, I always prepare noodles to save time. Simply delicious and wish I can taste some.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I am such a fan of Asian meals that have noodles. I think it is way underrated. People always seem to get rice and forget that noodles are yummy with an Asian twist too!
ReplyDeleteYum, love spicy food. These noodles look great!
ReplyDeleteErin, this is my kind of dish! It looks great. I give it two Yums up! : )
ReplyDeleteI am so hungry right now and this really catches my eye. I'd love some for lunch!
ReplyDeleteOooh this looks good! The word spicy caught my attention!!
ReplyDeleteErin this dish looks fantastic..I love the flavor and sound of ingredients that you used..just perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I love simple Asian dishes! Thanks for stopping by my blog! So jealous you have had baquettes from France, one day I hope I can do that too!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at sesame oil! I freaking LOVE that stuff! :D
ReplyDeleteMm, mm, mm....did I say mmm! Lol! Love this!
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe. Asian foods always intimidated me when I tried to make them. This looks pretty easy to make. Thanks for the reipe.
ReplyDeleteI totally have a stack! Isn't it hard to find time to make all the new ones and enjoy all the old?
ReplyDeleteYummy! You've done a great job with this recipe... I am adding it to my stack :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteso many great things in one meal! I have about a million "recipes to try." then why is it I can never think of what to make for dinner?!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Asian noodle dishes...and this one looks excellent!
ReplyDeleteErin, looks like we were both in a noodle mood lol. Yours looks soooooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth?! I recently printed off 30 years of "tried and true" recipes (plus ones I've been meaning to try) and vowed not to hit the print button until I got through my "bucket list" once and for all ... until I saw this recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious and I don't have a stack...I have four binders AND a basket of recipes! One day.....one day....
ReplyDeleteErin..this looks wonderful! I have notebooks and file bins of recipes....but not enough time! (and there's Ann above me again...she must think I'm stalking her!) : )
ReplyDeleteI love any type of noodles, and your asian version sounds so very very good! As for recipes, I don't think I could live long enough to get to everything I would like to make...there is always something new
ReplyDeleteI have that same stack of recipes along with bookmarks, sticky notes and magazine tear outs, it's out of control! This sounds wonderful, I love Cooking Light's Asian-inspired recipes!
ReplyDeleteI do have a huge pile of recipes in my folder. I usually cut and paste into Word and keep in the specific folder (like Main dish, Dessert, etc). In the beginning I put everything in one folder and drove me nuts. So I had to organize it not a long ago. It's fun to browse once in a while because I often forget what I put in there. :-) Your Asian noodles look wonderful. Sesame oil and hoison sauce is a great combination.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how the stack keeps growing. Since I get print magazines too, I finally just took to ripping out the recipes I wanted and moving all the unwanted ones to the recycle bin. But it's neverending!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination of flavors.
