Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 eggs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ large onion, sliced
1 large zucchini, julienned
1 (14 ounce) package tofu, drained and cubed
1 clove garlic
7 Thai chiles, chopped
3 tablespoons fish sauce
¼ cup lime juice
⅔ teaspoon sugar
⅓ teaspoon salt
1 quart water
8 ounces cellophane noodles
½ head lettuce, chopped

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover, and bring a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel, and chop.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and zucchini until tender. Mix in the tofu, and continue to cook and stir until browned on all sides.
  • With a mortar and pestle, grind the garlic and Thai chiles into a fine paste. Mix with the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and salt.
  • Bring 1 quart water to boil in a pot. Turn off heat, and soak the cellophane noodles in the hot water 1 minute, or until soft.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the eggs, tofu mixture, garlic and chile paste, noodles, and lettuce.

I didn't have any cellophane noodles on hand, so I used rice noodles instead. They worked just fine.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used half the amount of chili sauce called for in the recipe. It was still plenty spicy for me, but my husband loved it.
