Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Cook the noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, drain well, and keep warm. Heat the oil and brown the meat twice, then set aside. Briefly stir-fry the carrots and bean sprouts and remove. Fry the shallots, garlic, chilies, and curry paste for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Return the meat and vegetables to the pan. Add the fish sauce and sugar, and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and heat for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the spring onions over the top and stir again. This dish tastes especially good with Thai dip (in my recipes).
