Semi-Homemade Thai

I really wanted to make something special for James tonight since he is working so hard, but I was kind of tired myself, so I opted for a little help from "Taste of Thai." The kit comes with dried noodles and a packet of sauce, but I did the rest. I first boiled the nooodles and set them aside, leaving them somewhat firm since I was going to cook them more later. Then, I stir-fried some chicken, tofu, bean sprouts and egg. When they were done, I added the noodles to the wok. Then, I added the sauce and stir-fried everything together for about 15 minutes. I topped it all with fresh torn cilantro, crushed peanuts, and lime wedges. Basically, I got my help from the sauce, but I chose to add a little sugar to make it sweeter.

I completed the meal with some frozen shumai and some homemade Thai iced tea. Yummy! James was very pleased and is now back to work on a project for his master's degree, but I'm going to interrupt him shortly for some peanut butter M&M brownies I made earlier.
