Ingredients

  • 150 g dried glass noodles
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 250 g minced pork shrimp or chopped firm tofu
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 limes
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce or more soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1,5 cm fresh ginger root, grated
  • 1 small red Thai Chili, minced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 4 spring onions, sliced
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 40 g roasted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Put the glass noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.

  2. In the meantime bring a pot with 1 l of water to a boil and heat a middle sized pan with 1 tsp of oil. Add the minced pork let fry for about 5 minutes, breaking the pieces apart with a fork as it fries. Add a pinch of salt and let fry for another 3 minutes, then add the garlic and fry for another minute until the garlic looses its raw smell. Put aside.

  3. Take noodles from soaking water and add them to the pot of boiling water.  Let them sit in the water for a minute, then drain and rinse with cold water. Cut them into smaller pieces with your kitchen scissors. 

  4. Juice the limes into a small bowl and add the soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, ginger and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. If it doesn't, put it in the microwave for a couple of seconds and stir again.

  5. Set some peanuts and cilantro aside for decoration.  Combine all the ingredients including dressing in a bowl and mix well. You want the dressing to coat the noodles properly. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro and serve.

Recipe Notes

You'll find glass noodles in Asian supermarkets but there's a pretty good chance, that your local grocery store carries them as well, They are sometimes labeled differently, so you might want to check for mung bean noodles, or bean threads, as well.
