Thai Lime Noodles

This is an ideal summer dish because there's hardly any cooking. In fact, if you substituted rice noodles for the stir-fry egg noodles, you could eliminate the stove altogether (just cover the rice noodles with boiling water for a few minutes). Feel free to adjust the dressing to your taste. You could use Thai fish sauce instead of soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce in place of the curry paste.
