INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 pound dried rice vermicelli
  • 2 cups bean sprouts, divided
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 10 unpeeled, large fresh shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce (nuoc mam or nam pla)
  • 1 tablespoon Ketchup
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon crushed dried shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 wedges fresh lemon

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the noodles in a large bowl, and cover with hot water. Soak for 15 minutes. Soak bean sprouts in cold water. Drain just before using.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, and fry until fragrant. Add the shrimp; cook and stir for about 3 minutes. Mix in the sugar, fish sauce and ketchup. Pour in the eggs, and stir for a minute. Add the noodles; stir-fry until they are coated with the sauce. Mix in half of the bean sprouts, and fry until soft.
  3. Place on a serving plate. Set remaining bean sprouts, cilantro and lemon wedges on a separate plate to top individual servings as desired. Sprinkle the noodles with dried shrimp, peanuts, and chili powder. Top with green onion.
