Faux-Thai Noodles

Happy B-Lated Canada Day!!! :D

I've pretty much have lived here for half of my life :O It's a nice country based on the very few cities I've actually seen here. For the long weekend, me and my fam went down to Niagara Falls (so classic) and enjoyed the fire works. Still need to get the pics from my daddy to post up :P

Gee I feel like my blog has been overcome by my travelling stories so I wanted to take a break from that and post a random recipe. I made this dish before for my friends and they loved it, so this time I decided to cook it up for my parents. It's super quick and effortless, perfect for any busy night. It's not exactly thai food but is an amazing replacement for those take out Thai dishes ;)
