Yummy Thai Noodles

---Created for RSC#9, this was fun to make while experimenting with my family's tastes the whole time! We all ended up liking it very much. Have all your vegies prepped beforehand to make the recipe more fluid and easy to prepare. NOTE: You can start out with 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for the sambal. If you use the sambal, you might want to start with 1 tablespoon and go on from there to your taste, this was pretty spicy!------
