-(10-16 oz pkg = 0.3-0.5 kg)
2 tbspOil (30 ml)
3 Garlic cloves, or more
- crushed or minced
8 ozShrimp, peeled (optional)
8 ozChicken, Pork or more Shrimp
- (Optional), cut into dice
- or matchsticks
3 Eggs
1 cupBean sprouts
1/4 cupChopped/ground peanuts
1 Red chile (optional)
- finely chopped
-OR-
1 tsp-Red pepper flakes
1 cupSliced cabbage
Cilantro leaves
Lime wedges
SAUCE
1/4 cupThai Fish Sauce
1/4 cupWhite Vinegar
2 tbspWhite sugar
3 tbspPaprika
Procedures:
1Soak the rice noodles in cold water at least two hours before cooking.
2Drain.
3In a large wok, heat oil and stir-fry garlic for 30 seconds.
4Add shrimp and other meat if used.
5Add the noodles, and stir-fry until al dente.
6Add sauce ingredients, cook to allow most of this to be absorbed (2 minutes or so).
7Spread the noodles, etc.
8Out to the sides, and add eggs.
9Some will crack the eggs directly into the wok, others will pre-scramble.
10If cracked into the pan, start stirring them up when partially cooked, so you get "streaky" yellow and white eggs.
11As they cook, fold the noodle mixture back in. add ?the bean sprouts, peanuts, red pepper, folded into the mixture.
12Serve hot, garnished with the rest of the bean sprouts, chopped cabbage, cilantro.
13Serve with lime wedges to be squeezed into the noodles.
14In my house, we have doctored this with thai hot chile sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or sate-style peanut sauce.
15It takes to any of these very well, depending on your tastes
