Spicy Thai Noodles With Pork and Mint image

I tried this recipe from Clifford A. Wright's 'Some Like It Hot'.(He borrowed it from an LA noodle house). It BLEW ME AWAY! Easy and very tasty. The mint is a must--be sure not to skip it. I made it with all the chiles called for and it was scorching (which I like) but you can cut back on them if you are nervous about spiciness.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces wide dry rice noodles (1/2 inch)
3 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon oil (peanut or canola)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh Thai red chili peppers (about 35) or 1/2 cup other fresh hot chili pepper
4 ounces ground pork
3/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil (about 1-2 big sprigs worth)
6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, finely chopped, I used more
2 -3 tablespoons oil, for stir-frying

Steps:

  • Boil noodles for about 3-4 minutes (or according to package), drain, then plunge into cold water until needed.
  • Meanwhile, mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Prep the other ingredients and have them all ready before starting--the rest of the cooking is done in MINUTES.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large skillet to hot.
  • Stir-fry garlic for about 20 seconds until starting to brown.
  • Add the chiles (STAND BACK and have the fume hood on HIGH unless you want to cough and cry for half an hour--trust me) and fry for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the pork and fry until no longer pink, breaking up lumps, and then stir in the sauce mixture. Let it bubble a bit.
  • Drain the noodles and stir them into the wok mixture. Toss until sauce absorbed, 1 or 2 minutes, then stir in the basil and tomatoes until basil wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Dump onto a platter or portion onto 4 plates and sprinkle with the mint (essential ingredient!).
  • Have plenty of cold beverages ready.
