Ingredients

• 8 oz Rice noodles
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup Cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu (optional)
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 4 Green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 Fresh lime wedges
• 3 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Tamarind paste
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20-30 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, and red chili flakes (if using) to create the sauce.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Push the garlic to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until just cooked, then mix with the garlic.

Step 6

Add the optional cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the softened rice noodles and pour the sauce over the noodles. Stir everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.

Step 8

Toss in the bean sprouts and green onions, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to keep them slightly crunchy.

Step 9

Serve the noodles hot, garnished with crushed peanuts, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
