How do you feel about spicy noodles? It’s one of my favourite takeout dishes. I’m vegetarian and I always worry that the dish I’m getting may have “stuff” in there that I don’t want to eat (I’ve had a few surprises in my life). So I’m always trying to make “my” perfect spicy noodles. This one came pretty close. 

Just a bowl of spicy noodles. I tossed this twisted tangle of brown rice noodles with sautéed leeks and green onions. A simple and most delicious dish.
