Spicy Thai Noodles
Over the weekend I came across several Asian inspired recipes on Pinterest...decided to give one a try tonight. After looking over the recipe and the comments, here's what I did:
(The original recipe can be found here.)
INGREDIENTS:
1 box Thin Spaghetti
12 oz Thinly sliced & cooked chicken breast
2 tsp Ground Ginger
3 Peeled & shredded carrots
1/3 C Green Onions
1/3 C Cilantro
3/4 C Peanuts
Sesame Seeds to taste
SAUCE:
1 tbsp Crushed Red Pepper (I would have used more, but someone in this house is a little sensitive to heat...and it's not me.)
1/4 C Sesame Oil + 1/4 C Sesame Seed Oil
4 tbsp Honey
6 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp PB2 Peanut Butter Powder
1/4 C Rice Wine Vinegar
DIRECTIONS:
1. Boil noodles. Drain.
2. While the noodles are boiling, slice and cook the chicken and ginger.
3. Heat both oils and crushed red pepper over medium heat in a small pan for 2-3 minutes. Strain out pepper and reserve oil.
4. Whisk in honey, soy sauce, peanut butter powder, and rice wine vinegar.
5. Toss mixture with noodles.
6. Chop green onions, carrots, cilantro, and peanuts. Add to mixture and toss.
8. Season with sesame seeds and Sriracha.

I'm guessing there's a good chance that I made noodles during one of my many years in 4-H cooking, but this weekend was my first noodle-making adventure that I can remember. It was our turn to host the monthly dinner. We selected a fettuccine with cream & sausage dish...and of course I had to make my own fettuccine to make a truly authentic Italian Dining experience. It's amazing how different homemade noodles are - store noodles don't even compare!
So, as we were looking through our Italian Cookbook, we came across rum cake...that's right...rum cake! How could we pass up rum cake? (We were questioning how or why this type of cake was in the Italian Cookbook.) After doing a little searching on the Internet, I learned that the English settlers brought a style of cake to the Caribbean. It was then modified by the Africans who came to the region during the slave trade. (In the cookbook it referred to a Polish man who "invented" the cake. So, I'm still left wondering how it's really Italian.
