Section 3 Ingredients
1lb rice sticks (do not substitute with pasta) (replacing rice sticks with
white rice makes for a pretty good fried rice version)
8oz bean sprouts (fresh and still crunchy)
1.) prepare rice sticks (usually 8 min in warm water will have best results)
2.) heat oil in large pan
3.) mix sauce, set aside (the sauce probably won't smell so nice at this
point. don't worry, it's normal.)
4.) add meat or tofu to pan, cook for 50-80 sec and start to add
rest of Section 1 Ingredients as meat browns
5.) when meat is browned. add section 2 ingredients for 30 sec and
add sauce. let cook for a minute or so. add extra lime
6.) noodles for about 2 min.
7.) serve the dish on a bed of bean sprouts with a lime chunks on the
side.
the citrus marinade for the tofu should be straightforward. just take the
tofu from the package, cut it into large chunks. dry each chunk on a paper
towel (the drier it gets, the more it will absorb), and put in a container
with fresh lemon and lime (and perhaps a little orange) juice for 6 hours
in the fridge. to be honest, i have yet to try this marinade, so i would like
input on a better design or how this one turned out.
this has been a successful recipe for me. should serve 4 if along with some
bread, egg roll, or other small side.
sorry about the spelling. my spelling sucks.
