Spicy noodles method
First heat the sesame oil in a casserole or pan. Add onions, and the two mushrooms.
Fry everything for around 4 minutes. Then add cooked pasta, red curry paste and season with salt and pepper. Add the optional minced garlic and tamari.
After frying 8 minutes more on medium heat, sprinkle some optional green onions on top, serve on plates or in bowls and enjoy.

Variations and flavors for this Spicy Noodles
Hot Ramen noodles: step up the game and use Ramen noodles instead of the pasta and add a bit vegetable broth to your taste.
Thai rice noodles: use rice noodles for more variation.
Spicy Thai Noodles: recently I mixed 2 Tbs peanut butter in these noodles which turned out so creamy and delicious.
I could imagine almond butter would work really good as well. Use water if it needs to be more liquid, which will depend on the used nut butter and its texture.
Give my Spicy Noodles a try, make them ahead, eat and enjoy them.
If you do, I will be happy to see a tag on Instagram or Facebook with your remakes.
Cheers, Florian.
