      Title: CRISPY FRIED NOODLES
 Categories: Side dish, Thai, Vegetarian
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      3 c  Vegetable oil, for deep fryg
      4 oz Rice vermicelli

MMMMM---------------------------SYRUP--------------------------------
    1/4 c  Water
    1/4 c  Tamarind water -=OR=- lime
           -- juice
      4 tb Sugar

MMMMM-------------------------SEASONINGS------------------------------
    1/4 c  Vegetable oil
      2 tb Onions, chopped
      1 tb Garlic, chopped
      1 tb Tomato paste
      3 tb Soy sauce

MMMMM-------------------------TO FINISH------------------------------
    1/2 c  Bean sprouts
      1 tb Cilantro leaves, chopped
      2 ea Green onions, diced
      1 ts Red pepper flakes, optional
           Lemon wedges
 
  Heat the oil to very hot.  Drop a handful of uncooked noodles into
  the hot oil.  They will immediately puff up to several times their
  size. Turn them over & quickly fry the other side. The entire process
  only takes a few seconds.  Do not let the noodles brown. Drain on
  paper towels. Make the SYRUP by combining the water & tamarind water
  with sugar in a small pot. Cook over medium heat until it thickens.
  Prepare the SEASONINGS by heating 1 tb vegetable oil in a wok or
  skillet. Add the onion & garlic & stir-fry until lightly browned. Add
  the tomato paste & soy sauce & stir-fry a further 3 minutes. Clean
  the bean sprouts & remove the roots if you want. Place the noodles in
  a large bowl & pour the SYRUP & SEASONINGS mixture over them at once
  & mix thoroughly with your hands. Add the bean sprouts, cilantro &
  green onions & mix again, being careful not to break the noodles into
  too small pieces. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes if desired &
  serve with the lemon wedges.
