Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. In a large bowl, toss together the eggs, tofu mixture, garlic and chile paste, noodles, and lettuce.
