directions

Noodles

Place noodles into a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling unsalted water, stirring to separate for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Shake colander briskly to drain excess water. Set aside.

Prepare Shallots

Heat canola oil in a wok or large sauté pan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add shallots and reduce heat to medium. Sauté, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute more or until garlic just turns brown. Add the cooked noodles and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add broth, sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce and Sriracha to the pan and combine well. Turn off the heat and add sesame oil, scallions, cilantro, chile and the lime juice. Toss to combine and serve.

Leftovers

In a sauté pan, heat 1 teaspoon canola oil and add a quarter cup vegetable stock. Mix in noodles and heat until warm. Add leftover chicken or other meats or add an egg and cook it until cooked through. Serve immediately. Recipe created by Parties That Cook® www.PartiesThatCook.com
