Thai Fried Rice Noodles

This delicious dish is my creative twist on Pad Thai.  You will love how good this meal makes you feel with all the romaine lettuce, red cabbage, carrots, green onions, garlic, paprika and the yummy rice noodles. Only one tablespoon of olive oil for the entire recipe, so it is very heart friendly.  Add a squeeze of fresh lemon and ground walnuts to finish off your dish. Makes two very large dinner size portions - you won't need anything else to go with this meal unless serving more than two people.
