Rice Noodles with Pork and Vegetables
This Thai recipe is nicknamed “drunken noodles” because this classic dish is so very spicy that it’s said to be capable of shocking someone straight out of their hangover. We’ve adapted it so that it’s not too intense. It contains typical rice noodles, slightly springy and beautifully shiny; you get the right texture by letting them soak in hot water and mixing them with sauce to finish the cooking. This one is sweet, salty and syrupy thanks to a blend of oyster sauce, brown sugar and soy sauce.
