Asian Food feast for dinner

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a relaxing weekend with a funny movie (Delhi Belly) and a get together at friend's place. After having a great lunch at friend's place didn't feel like eat anything for dinner. So wanted to have quick noodles for dinner but ended up making a feast.

Here is what I ended up making.

Saute noodles:
Cook noodles as per the package instructions.
( This is how I cooked: Cook noodles in boiled water for 5 to 6 mts and drain the excess water. (I always add 1tsp oil and pinch of salt to the boiling water. Oil helps to prevent sticking of noodles))

In a wok add oil. Once oil is hot add grated ginger, garlic and chopped chilies(I ove spicy food so I added more chilies) and peanut sauce. Cook for 5 mts and add boiled noodles and mix well. Adjust spices and turn off the heat.

Yummy noodles are ready to be served.
