This meal combines two of our favorite Thai classics: the peanut-y richness of chicken satay and the oodles of noodles one gets with a good pad thai. We've subbed in some meaty tofu for the chicken part of the satay; trust us, it works just as well if not better. With pasta, peanuts, a dash of heat, and a bunch of flavor, this mixing of meals is a sure keeper.
