Ingredients:

1 cup of noodles
½ cup of green veggies
½ cup of mild peppers such as prik chi fa (Thai jalapeños).
1 large egg (preferably a duck egg)
some tamarind juice
sugar
chilies
cilantro leaves
sliced cucumber for garnish.

Methods:

Place the noodles in water to soak for about 15 minutes.

Place 2 tablespoons of the liquor from each of the five condiments listed above,together with 2 tablespoons of tamarind juice,in a small saucepan and simmer to reduce it to half its volume. When this is done heat a wok,and stir a teaspoon of the fish sauce from the nam pla prik into the egg, and beat it lightly. Drain 1 tablespoon of the pickle from each of the five condiments.

If you are using Italian pasta, boil it for half the normal cooking time.

Add all the ingredients except the egg and the reduced sauce to the wok and stir fry until the noodles are just “toothy” in texture. Add the sauce,turn the heat to as high as possible, and when the sauce has come to a vigorous boil,gently drizzle the egg into the mix, which will cook it.

Serve immediately,with the listed condiments, together with sugar and prik phom (powdered red chile), and decorate with the garnishes.
