Okay, so I am not the best lyricist (and I don’t sing in Air Supply), but what I do well is put together ingredients on the fly and make a simple tasty dish.

With that in mind, I came home after a brutal day at work with dreams of having a few beers and putting together a dish that would be just above edible.

What I came up with was a mixture of sweet and spicy, crunchy and soft that was better than I could have imagined.

What You’ll Need:

Linguini Noodles
1/2 of a potato
1/2 of a red onion
6 cloves of garlic
2 Tbs of butter
4 Tbs of Sesame Oil
Jar of Banana Pepper Rings
Soy Sauce
2 handful of frozen mixed vegetables (green beans/carrots/corn)
tsp of Basil
1/2 tsp of Oregano
Small handful of dry roasted peanuts
Mae Ploy for drizzling

1. Start by cooking the linguini noodles to your desired doneness.  I prefer mine to be al dente.
2. Next chop the potato, onion and garlic.
3. Add the butter and 2 Tbs of oil to a pan or electric griddle(which is what I used) on medium low heat.
4. Once the butter has melted and the wonderful scent of sesame oil fills the air, drop your potato, onion and garlic.
5. After 5 minutes throw in some banana pepper rings (as many as you would like) and two healthy splashes of soy sauce to add that “kick.”
6. Stir and simmer for 5 more minutes then add your frozen mixed vegetables.
7. After 5 minutes toss in two generous handfuls of noodles and your spices (basil and oregano).
8. Let those ingredients mingle for a few minutes before adding the peanuts just long enough to heat them up.
9. After adding to the plate drizzle your noodles with some Mae Ploy for the sweet chili taste and salt/pepper as necessary.

Cheers
