Ingredients

Qty Unit Ingredient
1 lb Shrimp - medium, peeled and deveined
1 Egg - large, slightly beaten
8 Oz Rice stick noodles
1/4 C Chile Sauce - tomato based
1/4 C Lime Juice
3 Tb Soy Sauce
2 Tb Brown Sugar - light
1 Tb Anchovy paste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When it boils, remove it from the heat. Stir in noodles, and let them soak until they are softened, but not fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Whisk, in a small bowl, chile sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and anchovy paste. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook until just opaque throughout, tossing often, about 3 minutes. Plate shrimp. Return skillet to stove, and add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, noodles, and chile sauce mixture. Cook, tossing to combine, about 1 minute. Add bean sprouts, scallions, and shrimp. Pour in egg. Toss until noodles are coated and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve with desired garnishes.
