Spicy Sesame Noodles

As you know, whenever my husband isn't feeling up to par, he craves spicy foods. With minimal groceries in the house and no desire to run out in the rain to get his favorite Thai food, I had to improvise. I had Lo Mein noodles, garlic and a variety of spices...a quick search on the Internet and I found the perfect recipe for Spicy Sesame Noodles!

This was great, just what the doctor ordered and would be fabulous with some beef mixed in! I'll keep that in mind for next time.
