What is this dish called? (I know the ingredients but not the name of the dish! I think it's Thai?)?

Question

My mom made these noodles years ago. They were really good and really spicy, and I want to try and find a recipe. The only this, though, is that she doesn't know what they're called! And neither do I. I THINK that it's a Thai dish, but I'm not sure. From what I can remember, the dish has these ingredients in it:

rice noodles

fresh cilantro

chili sauce

dried garlic cloves

bean sprout stems

beef OR pork

Your help is appreciated! ^___^

A Pad Thai Worth Making

INGREDIENTS

1 (8 ounce) package dried flat rice noodles

3 tablespoons fish sauce

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon white sugar

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 1/2 tablespoons Asian chile pepper sauce, divided

1/4 cup chicken stock

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

8 ounces medium shrimp - peeled and deveined

8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes

2 eggs, beaten

3 cups bean sprouts

6 green onions, chopped into 1 inch pieces

2 tablespoons chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

  

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 lime, cut into 8 wedges

2 cups bean sprouts

DIRECTIONS

Fill a large bowl with hot tap water and place the noodles in it to soak for 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, stir together the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons of the chile sauce and chicken stock. Set aside.

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, stir in garlic and cook for about 10 seconds. Add shrimp and chicken; cook, stirring constantly until shrimp is opaque and chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Move everything in the wok out to the sides and pour the eggs in the center. Cook and stir the eggs until firm. Add the noodles to the wok and pour in the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the noodles are tender. Add a bit more water if needed to finish cooking the noodles. Stir in 3 cups of bean sprouts and green onions. Remove from the heat and garnish with chopped peanuts. Taste for seasoning, adjusting the spice or lime juice if needed.

Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and remaining bean sprouts and lime wedges on the side.

Answer 4

Sound like this may be it:

Curried Noodles - Goew Tiew Kak

2 Servings



1 tablespoon red curry paste

3 cups water

2 tablespoons vinegar

1/3 cup tofu - extra firm, julienne

1/2 package Thai rice noodles

2 tablespoons sugar

1/3 cup pickled mustard, sliced

1 green onion, sliced

2 tablespoons fried shallot

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 cup coconut milk

5-7 sprigs cilantro, sliced

1/2 lb beef

1/3 cup bean sprouts

1 hard boiled egg, halved Optional



Ghari curry paste is the major flavor ingredient for this dish, but it is not easily available at most Asian markets. With red curry paste and a few additional ingredients, the taste can be true to the original.

If you are using red curry paste, pan toast ½ teaspoon of coriander and ½ teaspoon of cumin. Ground the toasted coriander and cumin together and add to the red curry paste. Add one teaspoon of curry powder. Voila! You have an equivalent to ghari paste (Actually, there are a couple extra ingredients in the red curry paste like kaffir lime zest and coriander roots. But the extra flavors are not strong enough to change the taste and aroma of the dish).

Over medium to low heat, add coconut milk and curry paste to a 2 quart pot. Break up the paste with your spatula and stir constantly. Let it simmer until you see yellow oil. Add the cubed beef and stir to coat the beef with the mixture. Add 3 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of fried shallot, sugar and fish sauce. Leave the lid off the pot and simmer until the beef is tender, about 1/2 hour, while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Add more water as needed.

Boil an egg. Soak noodles in hot water. You will want to soak them until they are soft (about 10 minutes). If you keep replacing the water as it gets cold, the noodles will soften faster. While you are waiting for the noodles to soften, slice the pickled mustard, green onion and cilantro. Julienne the firm tofu. Halve hard boiled egg. When the noodles are ready, scoop half of the noodles in a bowl. Add half of the mustard, bean sprout, tofu and egg. Add the curry to the noodle bowl. Sprinkle fried shallot, green onion and cilantro on top. Repeat for the other bowl.

Season with fish sauce, sugar and vinegar.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

If it was a noodle soup, it was probably a LAKSA:  there are lots of variations but all delicious.

But if you are sure it was Thai in origin it probably was KHAO SOI:

Answer 8

Given the fact that it's a noodle soup, it could probably be pho, which is Vietnamese, and Vietnamese and Thai cuisines are very similar, which could be the reason why you thought it was Thai.

Hopefully, this is the dish that you're looking for, and here's the recipe!

p.s. it can't be pad thai since you said it was brothy and pad thai is a dry noodle dish.
