This is my attempt at a formal recipe for all of you. Please feel free to critique.
Ingredients
1 big package of rice noodles
1-1/2 cups frozen peas or canned peas.
1 medium carrot
Sauce:
1/4 cup of soy sauce
2TBSP fish sauce
3TBSP peanut oil
3TBSP Chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup of water
1tsp minced ginger
2tsp minced garlic
1-1/2 TBSP turmeric
1 TSP cumin
1-1/2 TBSP brown sugar
2-3 dashes of red pepper flakes
Boil the noodles as directed on package. I cook for a little less time so they are firm. You will reheat them later when adding the sauce. They won’t get mushy then.
While noodles are boiling;
- Grate the carrot. I use a potato peeler.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
When the noodles are done:
- Pour the noodles into a colander, drain and rinse with cold water until they are completely cooled.
- Pour the sauce mix into the pot used for noodles
- Add the carrots and peas
- Heat with a medium flame, stirring frequently, until it starts to boil a little.
- Plop in your noodles a little at a time. Add, stir. Add, stir. Add, stir. etc…
- Mix all together and stir until all the noodles are evenly heated.
- Put into a big fancy bowl
- Serve and Eat.
You can add meat or any vegetables you like to this. It sounds pretty healthy but it is probably loaded with fat from all the peanut oil.
