If you like spicy Chineese - this is for you. I make this dish regularly using whole wheat linguini, leftover grilled pork or chicken and whatever vegetable I have on hand, usually broccoli, carrots and snowpeas.Add the crunchy vegetables at the end of the pasta cooking to soften them just a bit. My family likes spicy so we increase the Siracha. We always eat it warm, not chilled. It keeps well for those dinner stragglers and is great for lunch the next day as it travels well. This is a recipe that can take many modifications and still wow your family and guests alike!
