Hello. This is a bowl of spicy noodle deliciousness and there's tons of flavor going on here. Which makes me happy because I'm all about flavor.
Here's a list of the delicious players in this bowl:
1.) Roasted Cashew Nuts. OMG, yes.
2.) Dry red chilies. Aren't they a fiery looking beauty? But don't be scared, we're only using them for flavor and not a lot of spice.
3.) Egg noodles!
4.) And crunchy veggies!
Now I know this recipe might seem like a lot, what with all the steps. BUT it's delicious, it's hot, it's a little bit spicy, it's crunchy with the veggies, and nutty from the roasted cashew nuts. I promise you won't regret investing time into making this, because the ROI (return on investment) is in the form of flavor fireworks in your mouth. Hehe.
This is what happiness in a bowl looks like for me. And I think you'd agree with me after you make it.
Btw, what's YOUR happiness in a bowl look like? I would love to know, just drop your answer in the comment section below! 🙂
