Helpful Tips

If you’re a beginner, don’t worry—this recipe is very forgiving. You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less Sriracha, or even substitute with other hot sauces according to your taste. For a gluten-free version, ensure your soy sauce is gluten-free. If you are out of rice noodles, spaghetti or other pasta can be used as substitutes.

Storage Instructions: Leftover noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water.

Suggested Pairings

This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh cucumber salad or a side of steamed vegetables like broccoli or bok choy. To drink, a cup of green tea or a light, refreshing lemonade perfectly complements the rich and spicy noodles.
