  • Thai Pickled Radish (Chai Po)
  • Peanuts
  • Fried Tofu Pouch
  • Eggs
  • Chives
  • Bean Sprouts

Seasonings

  • [A] Vinegar
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine)
  • [A] Sugar
  • Oil, 1 tbsp
  • Fish Sauce, 1-2 tsp

Steps

  1. Soak the Dried Rice Noodles in water until softened.
  2. Finely chop the Garlic and Red Onion.
  3. Cut the Fried Tofu Pouch into thin strips.
  4. Finely chop the Thai Pickled Radish (Chai Po).
  5. Cut the Chives into 3cm lengths.
  6. Crush the Peanuts.
  7. In a bowl, mix together Vinegar, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), and Sugar to create seasoning mixture [A].
  8. Heat 1 tbsp of Oil in a frying pan and sauté the chopped Garlic and Red Onion.
  9. Once fragrant, add the Dried Shrimp and continue to sauté. Using more Dried Shrimp will enhance the authentic flavor.
  10. Add the softened Dried Rice Noodles and stir-fry. Add the prepared seasoning mixture [A].
  11. Add 1-2 tsp of Fish Sauce and stir-fry. Soy sauce can be used as a substitute.
  12. Add the thinly sliced Fried Tofu Pouch and chopped Thai Pickled Radish (Chai Po) and stir-fry. The Fried Tofu Pouch is an adaptation not traditionally found in Thai cuisine but adds a delicious sweetness. Japanese pickles can be used as a substitute, but the flavor will differ.

  14. Finally, add the Bean Sprouts and the Chives cut into 3cm lengths, and stir-fry lightly.
