Spicy Thai Cashew Chicken Noodles in a bowl

This could very possibly be my most favorite recipe ever. No one will ever truly know for sure, because it seems that I have about a million favorite recipes, but this one really has me gawking! And considering I have no background in making asianย food (makes you really trust my recipe, doesn’t it ๐Ÿ˜‰ ), I must say I’m pretty proud of this one. If you do happen to be reading this and know a lot about thai/chinese/american fusions, please don’t judge me. I have no claim to authenticity here, just a really really really REALLY delicious, easy, and healthy recipe. ๐Ÿ˜‰

First things first, we absolutely must discuss the powerhouse flavor of this dish. The best way I might be able to describe it is as an explosion of spicy flavor balanced by a light, sweet, and savory flavor! If you love spicy, this dish is for YOU. If you hate spicy, leave out the crushed red pepper and/or add some mandarin slices like I did ๐Ÿ˜‰ As I mentioned in the Jerk Chicken Tacos recipe, I tend to be little bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food. But this dish was incredible, and I actually left the crushed red pepper in my bowl (that’s right, be proud)!

I LOVE using these stir-fry noodles whenever I make asian food (also used in the Sweet & Sour Porkless Bites Stir-Fry recipe). Oh and checkout my new fancy bowl! HUGE shoutout to my amazing aunt Mary who made these herself. What I would do for that talent!

    We are definitely fans of stir-fry- and are always looking for ways to switch it up! I completely forget about mixing nuts in- thanks so much for the inspiration:)
