My passion for Thai cuisine is no secret; listed below are some of my favorite Thai-inspired dishes. My love is inspired by my mother’s cooking and my enjoyment of favorite Thai restaurants in the area, like Dee Benson’s My Thai. Dee also taught us how to make the best fresh spring rolls and made them for us. I developed this recipe in an effort to use ingredients I could easily locate and recreate the flavor I love.

CAN I ADD MEAT TO THE NOODLES?
The best kind of meals are versatile ones like Easy Thai Noodles. I like to say ‘Dealer’s Choice’ with this dish. If I don’t have time to cook chicken when I get home, I’ll stop by the grocery store to buy a rotisserie chicken to shred and add to the dish because my family loves chicken with their noodles and I am happy to provide it because I do too. For my vegan and vegetarian friends, all you have to do is follow the recipe to make a delicious meal. Try sautéing shrimp or beef to add for a different variation if you’re a meat eater.
