A new post for all noodle lovers like me..its a very easy recipe,yet very tasty and serves a flavor combination of spicy and sweet at the same time...Thai Cashew Noodles!
I have been an genuine fan of noodles - whether they are Hot n Spicy, Sweet,Crispy,Garlic Burnt or whatever flavor that is served. Just love noodles!
I make some or the other version of noodles at home on a regular basis, and mostly on weekends.As that is the only time I can experiment with flavors and try something new.
Do check my recipe of crispy pan fried noodles with goodness of chicken and eggs. You can use the same recipe and make vegetarian version too.
OK, here is what I need to confess,I had no plans of making noodles for lunch but then just last week when we went for grocery shopping, I accidentally saw these Udon noodles along with a variety of other options.I had a few noodles on my mind and Udon was one among them. So, I got one pack,and thought to my mind that if my recipe is not that good then I wont buy again!
Somehow,the recipe was all in a hurry and since it was the weekend, so with sooooo many chores lined up and kids going crazy and me having a list of things (to do) pending over a month.Huh!
Finally,these turned so delicious and yummmmm!! My kid, as usual was all fussy about trying the noodles, then I said "OK,go ahead and eat your rice, and I will enjoy these". So after all temptations and going back and forth she finally asked me to give her one noodle /thread and then she never stopped.
It's a very easy recipe,you can just add any noodles you get to this recipe,if you don't have Udon hand. Even Ching's Hakka noodles/Egg noodles would work fine. But the best variety of noodles to work best to get the perfect final outcome is using some thick and firm kind of noodles than thin variety,.
Here are few Tips I would like to share:
- For this recipe,always choose the thick variety of noodles or else the noodles will turn soggy.
- Adjust the Sriracha as per your spice tolerance. I have added 1 Tablespoon,if you are fine with more spice then you can increase it accordingly.
- I added pre-roasted cashew nuts,you can add the roasted ones or raw ones too. Make sure when you add them they should be fresh and crunchy and not soft.
- Add chicken / Shrimps to this noodles too to get extra flavor.
