These easy Thai noodles have quickly become one of my favorite pasta dishes! This is one of easiest side dishes I’ve ever thrown together, and can be effortlessly made into a whole meal.

It’s easy to make this side dish into a meal: just add chicken or another protein. I’ve even added edamame for a vegetarian dinner. I based it on this one, with some personalizations. This dish is traditionally served cold, but I love it hot and usually just pop the leftovers in the microwave!

Heat the oils and crushed red pepper, then strain out the pepper flakes. Whisk in soy sauce and honey.

You can make this with traditional noodles, like rice noodles or udon, and it’s a little tastier. However, one of the things I love about this dish is that I can pull it together with everything already in my pantry, and I always have angel hair. Your choice.

My husband and I have long been fans of Thai flavors (Thai noodle soup & curried sweet potato soup to name a few favorites), so the fact that we’re obsessed with this should be no surprise. But we loved these easy Thai noodles so much, I’ve already got a second batch of sauce made in the fridge for next time we need an easy side dish! When you try it, I’d love to hear if you like it.
