Want Thai takeout that you can make even quicker at home? This fresh, flavorful recipe will become one of your staples. With more ubiquitous ingredients that can be found in any supermarket, this recipe replicates the Thai flavor profile without needing lots of herbs, spices, and seasonings. Pro tip: Rice stick noodles don’t actually “cook”—they simply soak in boiling water for less than 5 minutes to soften. This recipe is easy to prep, easy to make, and ready in no time. A fresh sprig of mint and squeeze of lime juice balances out the heat from your garlic chili sauce.
