Thai Noodle Salad - originally posted on Apr 24/12

It was hot.  25C hot.  Hotter than it had been in months.  I was hungry, but also in a hurry to get onto my balcony with a cold beverage and a book.  I was also broke so whatever I made had to be with what I had on hand.
This story is about the power of your pantry.
Brown rice vermicelli noodles are cheap, delicious and quick to prepare.

While the water was boiling, I cut up some veggies;
-a handful of spinach sliced, 6 grape tomatoes cut in half, one carrot sliced thin and half a red pepper, sliced thin.

Then I poured the boiling water over the noodles.  While the noodles soaked in the boiling water I made peanut sauce in my magic bullet.

Then I drained the noodles and tossed the veggies, noodles and sauce all together.

It was delicious!  I think it would be even better if I had some leftover chicken to throw in.  Oh, shrimp would be good too.

I was on my balcony in no time flat.
