Spicy Sesame-Soy Rice Noodles

This is such a simple and tasty side that I threw together the day after I made the Balsamic Glazed Chicken. I had leftover cooked rice noodles so I decided to reuse them in another dish.

Ingredients

• Cooked pad thai rice noodles - about half of a package
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1/4 c chicken broth
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (less or more depending on how much heat you like)
• Handful of chopped cilantro

Directions

• Heat the olive and sesame oils in a large saute pan or wok over medium high heat
• Add the garlic; saute 1-2 minutes
• Add the noodles and toss for just a few seconds
• Add the soy sauce, broth, and red pepper flakes and toss
• Stir in the cilantro, or us it as a garnish

I think that took all of 5 minutes. Even if you didn't have cooked noodles on-hand, they only take about 6-7 minutes, so this dish is still under 15 minutes from start to finish. And delicious!
