Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package flat rice noodles 8-10 ounces or so
  • 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons red chili sauce plus more if needed
  • 1 lime
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups fresh or canned bean sprouts
  • ¼ cup chopped peanuts
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 scallions sliced

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and a large skillet to medium-high heat with the olive oil. Combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, chili sauce, and juice of half the lime in a small dish. Set aside. Cut the second half of the lime into wedges for serving.
  • When the water for the noodles boils, turn the heat OFF and add the noodles. Let sit for 5-7 minutes, according to package directions, until the noodles are soft but still al dente (they'll cook more in the skillet), then drain and rinse with water.
  • When the oil shimmers, add the eggs to the skillet. Scramble for 4 minutes, breaking up with a spoon as you go, until the eggs are cooked through and slightly browned. Remove from the skillet until ready to use.
  • Add the garlic to the skillet and saute for 2 minutes until fragrant, then add all of the sauce, the noodles, the egg, and half the bean sprouts and peanuts. Toss together and taste: add more chili sauce or fish sauce if you'd like.
  • Serve topped with the remaining peanuts and bean sprouts, and garnish with green onion, cilantro, and lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Rice noodles break up a LOT as leftovers - make this right before you eat it!
