Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

4 ounces brown rice noodles (you can get stir-fry type noodles or Pad Thai noodles - and usually that's half a box)

3 tablespoons brown sugar (or sub another sweetener)

2 carrots

1 teaspoon chili paste (sambal oelek)

1 egg, beaten

3 tablespoons fish sauce or vegan fish sauce substitute

½ cup fresh herbs like cilantro, green onions, and basil, chopped

2 tablespoons oil

half a yellow onion

½ cup peanuts, chopped

1 red pepper

1 tablespoon soy sauce

3 tablespoons chicken or vegetable broth

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1 zucchini

Equipment:

bowl

tongs

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Place the uncooked noodles in a bowl of cold water to soak.Spiralize the zucchini, red pepper, and onion into noodle-like shapes. Cut the carrots into very small pieces (or spiralize them, too, if they're big enough).Shake up the sauce ingredients in a jar.Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add the veggies - stir fry with tongs for 2-3 minutes or until tender-crisp (if they are not spiralized, they might need longer). Be careful not to overcook them - they'll get soggy and heavy. Transfer to a dish and set aside.Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Drain the noodles - they should be softened by now. Add the noodles to the hot pan and stir fry for a minute, using tongs to toss. Add the sauce and stir fry for another minute or two, until the sauce is starting to thicken and stick to the noodles. Push the noodles aside to make a little room for the egg - pour the beaten egg into the pan and let it sit for 30 seconds or so. Toss everything around with the tongs. The egg mixture will stick to the noodles and everything will start getting sticky.Add in the vegetables, toss together, and remove from heat. Stir in the peanuts and herbs and serve immediately.

Beer -- Helping Ugly People Get Laid Since 1837 Rehab is for Quitters I may be drunk, but you are down right ugly, and I shall be sober in the morning An Irishman is not drunk so long as he can hold on to one blade of grass and not fall off the earth. Milk sucks, got beer? 1 Tequila 2 Tequila 3 Tequila Floor Save a tree; eat a beaver. A cat by any other name is still a furry little hairball that shits behind the couch. Does this condom make me look fat? If my dog had a face as ugly as your's, I would shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards! I need someone really bad, are you really bad? I used to wonder why God made ugly people, then I realized it was so people like me could get a good laugh. Firefighters: we find them hot, and leave them wet!
