Instructions
Soak noodles 15-20 minutes in warm water. In a jar combine sugar, vinegar, chili oil or the Thai chili and fish sauce. Set aside. Heat wok, stir fry meat, onions, garlic, and noodles. In another frying pan scramble eggs and combine with the noodle mixture mix to combine. On a serving plate place the bean sprouts, then the noodle mixture. Garnish with green onions, peanuts and lime wedges. Thai like Chinese combine meat and seafood. I have made and I have eaten pork, chicken and shrimp together in this dish. I have also had pork, chicken lobster and crab in this dish. The bean sprouts are not cooked at all, but the bottom layer of this dish.
