(adapted from The Joy of Cooking)
Shrimp (shelled), about ½ lb (or more if you’re feeling generous) mixed with 1 t cornstarch and 1 t sesame oil, marinated for 15-20 minutes
1 lb angel hair pasta (or rice stick noodles if you like)
½ cup roughly chopped scallions
2 T finely minced garlic
Mix together:
¼ cup Thai fish sauce
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 T sugar
3 eggs, scrambled
½ cup cilantro leaves
1/3 cup peanuts
1 cup bean sprouts
Fresh basil
½ t dried chili flakes
Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
Heat a few tablespoons of peanut or canola oil in a dutch oven. Cook the shrimp for a few minutes until it’s pink, then remove the shrimp and set aside on a plate.
Add a bit more oil if you need to, then cook the scrambled eggs until they are set. Remove the eggs from the pot and set aside with the shrimp.
Add a bit more oil if you need to, then add the scallions and garlic. Stir for about one minute.
Add the noodles and stir to coat well.
