QUICK & CRUNCHY PAD THAI
Why wait for delivery or take out, when you can have this delectable meal on the table in less than ten minutes? A basic package of ramen noodles is given a thai-style makeover when paired with a sweet and spicy sauce, crushed peanuts, and the quick-ready flavor of French fried onions.

FOR THE NOODLES:
1 3oz. package ramen noodles
1/2 c. cabbage, shredded
*
FOR THE SAUCE:
1 T. sugar
1 T. rice vinegar
1 T. soy Sauce
1/2 t. sesame oil
1/4 t. crushed red pepper
*
FOR THE DISH:
1/2 c. french fried onions
1/4 c. peanuts, crushed
1/4 c. cilantro, chopped
*
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium pot, bring 5 cups of water to a boil. Add noodles and cabbage and cook 3 minutes, or until noodles are softened. Strain.
*
In a skillet or wok, add ingredients for sauce together over medium high heat. Toss in noodle & cabbage mixture. Sprinkle french fried onions, peanuts, and cilantro atop. Serve immediately & enjoy!

    I tried this recipe last night and my husband and I loved it! It is as easy as you said it would be. I have a confession to make… this recipe caused me to buy a head of cabbage for the very first time.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Love this! The hubby is half-Thai and this is a quick and EASY way to get some of that Thai flavor without all the billion ingredients in most Thai cooking. I added chicken for a bit of protein but I'm sure shrimp would be great, too.
