Easy Thai Noodles

Time: 30 Minutes
Serving: 7 Cups

We love Thai food but don’t go out to restaurants for it much anymore because it’s hard to avoid all the added fat. Here are some easy thai noodles we make about once a week. This one has the great flavor without the fuss or the fat.

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, or to taste
