How To Make These Healthy Thai Noodles In Just Fifteen Minutes

thainoodles-22

This Thai noodles recipe is quick and easy, just the type of recipes we love to make. These “ramen” noodles are packed with flavor and are much healthier than, but just as quick as, the classic ones. You can easily adjust this recipe to fit your individual tastes or to fit whatever is at your local market any given day. I’ve used shiitake mushrooms and onion here but feel free to add greens, broccoli, carrots, scallions, or anything else. These Thai noodles are ready in under 15 minutes, a short wait to satisfy your cravings. How can you go wrong with that?
