Vegetable Noodles With Black Pepper & Sweet Chili Sauce

Everyone has their own recipe for making noodles. I am sure all our versions are delicious. But sometimes I do like to deviate from the usual way with the addition of peanut butter or any such ingredient. Some months ago I found the black pepper and sweet chili sauce on the shelves of Trader Joe's. The black pepper sauce taste was closest to the chettinadu karuvapillai garlic pepper kozhambu. When mixed with rice it becomes a perfect Indian rice variety. While the sweet chilli sauce had the sweet and  spice effect which my daughter loves. It acts as a perfect dipping sauce and can be a great ketchup substitute. The sauces are great additions to pasta, but I liked it best on noodles. It added a lot more flavor to the regular veggie noodles. An entry to MFF event: Oct 2010.
