Thai Chili Lime Noodles
I have been all about Thai food since I was pregnant with my daughter four years ago. While I look at my daughter and think she is probably made of magic and pixie dust, the truth is she is probably made of Thai food. I just love the combo of sweet and spicy and a little salty and that’s what these Thai chili lime noodles are.
Thai Chili Lime Noodles
These chili lime noodles are sort of like my vegetarian Korean vegetable noodles bowls. Lots of flavor, no meat, noodles, easy to make. But while they are similar, the taste is less salty and more sweet spicy.
Thai Chili Lime Noodles
These are one of those back pocket meals for me. It’s easy to make, takes under 20 minutes from start to finish, healthy, and I almost always have the ingredients on hand. Granted I have a slight Thai food obsession and tend to buy brown rice noodles and lime regularly. And I always have a bunch of fresh veggies, soy and siracha in my fridge.
All the ingredients for Thai Chili Lime Noodles
Plus, it gives you options. Don’t want to use a pepper? Ok, cool. Use whatever veggies you like. Feel like having some meat? Great, no prob. Throw in some chicken or shrimp. Want to take it on a picnic? Awesome. These noodles taste fab chilled and there is no mayo to make you worry that it’ll get funky in the heat. Oh and if you wanted to make this heartier? You could definitely add a can of coconut milk and turn this into a soup kind of like I did here with this Thai vegetable soup. Or if you are watching your carbs, go ahead and omit the noodles and add double the zucchini.
Spiralize the zucchini
See? Versatile. Flexible. Winning.

Oh! Also, don’t feel like you have to spiralize the zucchini or make carrot ribbons. I did that to make it super pretty, but you could just chop up all the veggies however you like.

Ingredients
- 2 bundles of brown rice noodles (4 ounces)
- 2 zucchini, spiralized or thinly cut
- 3 carrots, shaved or thinly cut
- 1 bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 tbs coconut oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, pressed
- 1/2 inch of ginger, grated
- 1 tbs soy or tamari sauce
- 2 tbs siracha*
- 2 tbs honey
- juice of 1 lime
- cilantro and scallions to taste
- peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare the veggies by chopping, spiralizing or shaving. Set aside. Heat a tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the veggies, grated ginger and pressed garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring. Add the soy, siracha, and honey. Cook until veggies are just a little soft and very fragrant about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cooked rice noodles and the lime juice. Toss together. Serve, garnished with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and scallions if desired.
Notes
Use tamari or gluten free soy sauce to keep it gluten free
If you don’t like spicy food, adjust the amount of siracha and use more honey. For mild, try 1-2 teaspoons of siracha and 3 tbs honey.
If you want to keep this vegan, use agave for honey.
Add whatever veggies you like. These are just a suggestion for what works well.

YUM, I’m in for anything Lime and these look amazing…
Thank you!
Totally pinning for later! My fiance and I LOVE Thai. I make a pretty mean Thai green curry if I do say so myself! 😉
Ohhhh I love green curry!! What do you put in yours?
I love Asian food and noodles are my favorite! This one might be a bit too spicy for me, but I bet my husband would love it!
Just dial back on the siracha. I’d use maybe a tsp instead of 2 tbs if you don’t like heat.
This looks so good! I love adding both lime and sriracha to recipes!
Such a great combo!
This looks so good! Every time I crave thai I always end up making the same curry. I’ll have to try this next time!
I have a couple go to curries too. They are just so easy and so good!
Now I am hungry. 🙂 Thank you for posting. I enjoyed reading.
That looks so good! Bookmarking this recipe!
This one is definitely on my list! Looks beyond delicious!
Enjoy!
I am always on the lookout for new recipes. These remind me of a dish we had in Bali- yum!!
This must be amazing! I love Thai food, and a bonus when it’s packed with all these delicious vegetables 🙂
Can’t go wrong with Thai. 🙂
