Ingredients

• 1/3 packet rice noodles
• 200 g firm tofu
• 1 small bowl king prawns
• 1/2 onion
• 3 spring onion
• 2 eggs
• 1 small bowl water
• lime
• 1 handful bean sprouts
• 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• just under 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 - 3 tbsp oil

What it concludes

• Pre-soaking rice noodles in hot water for 5 to 6 minutes ensures they are soft but not wet when frying.
• Frying onions, spring onions, and tofu together helps caramelize the aromatics and build flavour in the wok.
• Adding small splashes of water during cooking helps soften the rice noodles.
• Fish sauce provides saltiness and pungent flavour, while sugar balances the pungency, saltiness, and heat.
