I've been eating a lot of noodle bowls. Or, as Marc and I call them, noodley bowls. I figured google might not be as into "noodley bowls" though, so here we are. NOODLE BOWLS. I posted about my go-to noodle bowl almost two years ago, then shared a steak/fennel version, and have pretty much been eating some variety of noodle bowl regularly ever since.
The best thing about these bowls is THE DIVERSITY! You can add different veggies to make them completely new, which helps if you don't want to eat the literal same dish every single day. For this one, I wanted some FISH — so I chose Dr. Praeger's Thai Crusted Fish Sticks. Going in the Thai vein, I decided to add a veggie I associate with Thai food: red bell peppers! They remind me of Thai curries, and I almost never actually cook with them. From there, I did the normal rice noodle bowl situation, adding herbs, peanut sauce, crunchy peanuts, and more veg. SO TASTY!
