These Spicy Thai Noodles are a quick, flavorful, and easy dinner made with linguine tossed in a spicy Thai-inspired sauce. A delicious combination of toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, chili paste, and red pepper flakes creates a sweet, savory, and spicy noodle dish that comes together in just minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb linguine pasta, or fettuccine or spaghetti
  • ½–1½ tablespoons red pepper flakes, depending on desired spice level
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ⅓–½ cup toasted sesame oil
  • 1½ teaspoons chili paste
  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • Scallions, sliced, for garnish
  • Carrots, julienned or shredded, for garnish
  • Peanuts, chopped, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Sriracha, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package directions until tender. Drain well and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the toasted sesame oil, vegetable oil, soy sauce, honey, chili paste, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  3. Place the cooked noodles in a large bowl or skillet and pour the spicy sauce over them.
  4. Toss the noodles thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the sauce.
  5. Taste and adjust the spice level by adding more red pepper flakes or Sriracha if desired.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature and garnish with scallions, carrots, chopped peanuts, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • For extra heat, drizzle Sriracha over the noodles before serving.
  • You can use linguine, fettuccine, spaghetti, or another favorite pasta.
  • Add cooked chicken, shrimp, tofu, or vegetables to make the noodles more filling.
  • For the best flavor, use toasted sesame oil rather than regular sesame oil.
  • These noodles can be served warm, chilled, or at room temperature.
