Vegan Spicy Coconut Noodle Recipe
I love this vegan spicy coconut noodle recipe. Once as a child, I was able to travel outside of the country. Several members of my family and our closest friends were enjoying the sun and I could not help but be amazed at the coconut trees that were scattered around.
When I first tried drinking coconut juice and eating the meat, I was in love with coconut. I can still remember when a local tried the hard shell open and offered the juice. Afterwards, the meat was scraped off which made eating it easier.
Coconut. Oh, the creamy goodness. From then on, I have been looking for recipes that include coconut milk in it. Honestly, I think a splash of coconut milk makes any food so lusciously delicious, especially this Vegan Spicy Coconut Noodle dish. Coconuts are a good source of anti-oxidants so it almost always finds its way to some of my favorite creamy dishes. I sometimes make this recipe when I crave something Asian.
