I spent yesterday morning at the car dealer waiting on my car to get fixed. There was a recall on part of my car, so I was lucky enough to sit there for an hour yesterday. Good news is I brought a book, so I was able to catch up on some reading. They also washed my car! It was so dirty, I almost didn’t recognize it when they were done. Love driving around in a freshly washed car, now I just have to cross my fingers that the weather cooperates and it stays clean for more than a day.
On days when I have appointments and places to be, I love to rely on my crockpot. It is great to start something, let it cook all day, and then you just have to put on some finishing touches when you get home. You may remember when I made Slow Cooker Chipotle Beef Tacos a couple weeks ago. Well this starts with the same base. So when after you have your tacos, you can use the leftovers to make these noodle bowls.
These noodle bowls are a great way to transform your leftovers, and your family will have no idea. I used the flat rice noodles (often found in the Asian food section – Pad Thai noodles), but if you can’t find those linguini would work well. Then all you have to do is drizzle with soy sauce, sesame oil and top with bean sprouts, green onions, or cilantro. A squeeze of lime and some chopped peanuts or sesame seeds would be great as well. It is really easy to customize this to what your family enjoys.

I would love to come home to this cooking away in my slow cooker. I bet it would smell awesome.
How cool that they washed your car too 🙂
Wow. I’m not sure which is more exciting, having someone wash the car or coming home to a meal all ready and cooked like that. It looks delicious.
I love that you took this into an Asian world!! I adore rice noodles
I adore pad thai noodles but since I don’t know how to make it as good as my fave thai place, I never get to use them! I’m totally saving this one.
I love my slow cooker so much that I even use it in the summer once in awhile on the cooler days. 🙂 Totally cheating but as long as we are fed, who cares?!
Oooh, like I told Christiane earlier, I love Asian pasta dishes even more than Italian! Your noodle bowls look terrific
!
This looks like a perfect meal for a busy weeknight… I really need to start making more use of my slow cooker (though that would require me to be organized enough in the morning to actually dump the stuff in and turn it on, which is a pretty tall order for a non-morning person like me.)
Oh man! Handsome would go nuts for this. He loves Asian style meals. He loves noodles. He loves food waiting for him when he gets home. Perfect!
We have just got back from a vacation in Thailand and are not searching for recipes of anything Thai..
Pad Thai..mmm hopefully it will keep the memories fresh of a once in a lifetime trip
